Selection Signatures - Introduction to Genomics Theory - Genomics 101
Offered By: Genomics Boot Camp via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore selection signatures in genomics through this beginner-friendly video lecture from the Genomics Boot Camp series. Delve into the concept of selection signatures, also known as selection sweeps, with a focus on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data. Learn how to identify these signatures and understand genetic hitchhiking. Discover various types of selection signatures and methods for their detection, including graphical representations. Examine run of homozygosity islands as selection signatures and explore how these signatures manifest across populations. The 23-minute lecture covers key topics in genomics theory, providing a comprehensive introduction to this fundamental concept. Access additional resources, including the full video playlist and PowerPoint presentations, to further enhance your understanding of genomics.
