Description
This course will introduce students to a broad spectrum of concepts surrounding the understanding of plant biology through evolutionary genomics. Concepts are framed in terms of conflict within the genomic ecosystem, and data from recent publications are used to demonstrate challenges facing scientists in their efforts to understand, protect and utilize plant diversity as a contribution to the improvement of global health. The course provides students with a critical thought process to read and understand often intimidating peer-reviewed research in the genomics area. The course is designed for students whose careers take them to positions involving genetics or genomics including crop breeding, the agro-industry and future technology development.
