This revolution is epitomized by applications of these technologies to the study of the genetic basis for adaptive phenotypes, which has fascinated evolutionary and ecological geneticists since the middle of the last century. Pinpointing the actual genes that underlie complex and diverse phenotypes, however, has remained elusive for all but the most developed model systems (e.g. humans). This is changing rapidly as next-generation technologies are being applied to non-model species. This course will review the existing literature in the emerging field of ecological genomics in an effort to answer the following three questions:</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vk29-G6W7Kc/TsB9ePjc2AI/AAAAAAAAA5I/zHyycKF1fIo/s1600/IMG_0099.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vk29-G6W7Kc/TsB9ePjc2AI/AAAAAAAAA5I/zHyycKF1fIo/s320/IMG_0099.jpg" width="240" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">(1) What is ecological genomics?</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">(2) What are the types of questions of interest to ecological genomicists and how are these questions typically addressed?</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">(3) What are the limitations of ecological genomic investigations?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Additional Course Documents </b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/andrewjeckertorg/Home/BIOL693_Flyer_VCU.pdf">Course Description</a>&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/andrewjeckertorg/Home/BIOL693_EcolGenomics_Fall2011v2.pdf">Syllabus</a></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://ecogenomics.blogspot.com/">Course Blog</a>&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/andrewjeckertorg/Home/review_guidelines.pdf">How to review a paper</a>&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5854065641612536584-2016408955044059392?l=eckertteaching.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Andrew Eckerthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08363955942155504697noreply@blogger.com
