  • Obiettivi: LEARNING OUTCOMES: Awareness about the role of recent technological developments in whole-genome sequencing and advanced analytical tools in defining strategies for preserving the evolutionary potential of wild organisms. The course aims at developing the students�� ability to interpret and understand the information about demographic histories, adaptation and evolutionary potential which is hidden in the genome-level diversity of natural populations. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: Knowledge of the most important techniques in DNA sequencing and analysis of genomic data and their application to biodiversity conservation strategies. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: Ability to read and interpret primary scientific literature in conservation genomics. MAKING JUDGEMENTS: Foster ability to independently interpret results of statistical analyses of genomic data from natural populations. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: Ability to clearly and appropriately report about results of population genomic analyses on wild populations and their interpretation. LEARNING SKILLS: Ability to find and effectively assimilate new information regarding the contribution of whole-genome sequencing techniques to the definition of conservation strategies.
