Genomics

This repository contains many of the course materials (for free!) from the Bio720 course taught by Brian Golding and Ian Dworkin at McMaster University in 2018. While this course is structured for graduate students, anyone who has a working knowledge of basic molecular biology and genetics should be able to use this course. The goal […]

This is a set of lectures, exercises, and challenges using R. Topics covered include: an introduction to comparative methods and R, Brownian motion, PGLS, ancestral state reconstruction, trait evolution, diversification with BAMM and RPanda, state dependent diversification, Mk models and character correlations, and placing fossils/recently extinct taxa on a tree.

This video series (~11 hours total) focuses on the use of R to build and test evolutionary models. It reviews basic aspects of quantitative genetic theory and illustrates how that theory can be tested with data , both from single species and with multiple-species phylogenies. To view the videos, select the “Videos” tab near the top right of […]
