Overview: |
The aim of this course is to examine the principles and
processes of evolutionary change at the molecular
level. The course begins with the topic of
mutation, and moves on to the dynamics
of genetic variation in populations. The course
then shifts to a marcro-evolutionary perspective and
examines topics in protein phenotypic variation,
adaptive molecular evolution, molecular clocks,
evolution by genetic co-option, and
paleomolecular biochemistry. This class
provides an important foundation for advanced study
of molecular evolution in classes such as BIOl
4041 (Bioinformatics) and BIOL 4010
(Genes and Genomes).

| Molecular evolution at Dalhousie: | There are many exciting challenges in modern biology that, due to their exceptional complexity, can only be met through an integration of biological, mathematical, and computer science disciplines. Dalhousie University is particularly strong in each of these areas, with a set of research groups in molecular evolution and genomics that is hard to match. The interdisciplinary environment at Dalhousie is excellent, and a wide variety of academic options are available to students wishing to focus their academic program on molecular evolution and genomics.
