Molecular Phylogenetics 320-ERS-1MPH
Substantive content:
• Molecular phylogeny may reveal real genetic relationships between taxa at intra and inter-specific levels. It usually uses homologous, aligned DNA or protein sequences and different phylogenetic approaches to construct the phylogenetic tree, test it statistically and present in a form that is readable and interpretable to the reader.
• During the course students will learn about all the important rules, stages and methods that are used in molecular phylogenetics and will know what we have learned from this approach so far.
• Students will also learn how to construct phylogenetic tree using different methods with the help of MEGAXI software from DNA and/or protein sequences and test them as evolutionary hypotheses by bootstrap approach. Students will also learn how to construct phylogenetic networks, test for selection and neutral evolution.
