EEMB 101: MOLECULAR EVOLUTION
University of California, Santa Barbara
Molecular evolution is a modern field of biology aiming to understand proce sses of evolution using molecular and genomic tools. This course provides b asic concepts in molecular evolution including models of sequence evolution , genome evolution across the tree of life, concepts in molecular populatio n genetics, molecular tests of natural selection, and regulatory evolution. These concepts are learned through the usage of classic examples of molecu lar evolution, as well as recent, timely studies (such as evolution of SARS -CoV2).
