(syllabus)
1. Basics of Ecoplogy and Genetic: DNA, genes, genomes, hereditability, environment 2. Markers: morphological, biochemical (terpenes, isoenzymes, proteins), molecular (RFLP, SSR, AFLP, SNP) markers, Sanger Sequencing, DNA barcoding, Next Generation Sequencing and RAD sequencing, metagenomics, phylogenomics 3. Population Genetics: evolutive factors and gene frequencies. Mutations, Migration, Selection, Drift. Reproduction, gene flow, demography. Isolamento, bottlenecks, inbreeding. Divergence, speciation, hybridization, introgression. Phylogeny and phylogeography. Landscape Genetics. Coevolution. 4. Natural genetic variation (simple alleles, QTL). Spatial and temporal genetic structures. Quantification of the genetic diversity. Genotype x environment interactions.Candidate Genes. Climate change, Adaptation, migration. 5. Conservation genetics: in-situ and ex-situ conservation strategies.
