| 授業方針・テーマ |
Recent and future topics on evolutionary biology based on population genetics, molecular phylogenetics will be deeply introduced. Darwin’s theory of natural selection and the neutral theory of molecular evolution will also be introduced. Evolution of life in connection with earth history will also be introduced. Biodiversity as a consequence of evolution will also be introduced with a couple of examples.
*This course is conducted in English, but support in Japanese is available for those who need it.

目的・到達目標 |
First half (Nozawa): Students are expected to understand how to construct molecular phylogeny. Students are also expected to understand major components of genomes and explain the mechanism of genome evolution. They will be able to explain the effect of epigenetics on evolution. Finally, students aim to grasp the basics on how to analyze large-scale sequence data and apply to evolutionary studies.
Second half (Tsukatani): Students are expected to learn the connection between earth history and life evolution, and some models of origin and evolution of life. Students are also expected to learn recent studies on evolution of photosynthesis and respiratory. Students will be able to explain the evolution of life’s metabolisms.
