Course Description

Overview

Explore the fundamentals of population genetics and evolutionary processes in this comprehensive lecture from the Second Bangalore School on Population Genetics and Evolution. Delve into gene genealogies and coalescent processes as presented by John Wakeley from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Learn about the critical role of population genetics theory in understanding evolutionary processes, including antibiotic resistance, speciation, and the emergence of cooperative behaviors. Discover how to make quantitative predictions by integrating mathematical and statistical concepts with genetic inheritance principles. Examine real-world applications through topics such as inferring human population history from whole-genome sequences and analyzing SNP-difference data using coalescent predictions. Gain valuable insights into this interdisciplinary field that bridges biology, mathematics, medicine, physics, and statistics to advance our understanding of evolution.
