BIOS 11124 - Molecular Approaches in Zoology

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

PQ: BIOS 10110 or 10130. Our understanding of animal evolution has changed quite dramatically over the past twenty years, as new data from the application of DNA technologies has challenged the "textbook" view of animal evolution. The first part of this course introduces animal phyla, and we discuss the ideas of how major organizational changes in animal body plans occurred very early in animal evolution. The remaining part of this course introduces the new molecular data now being used in comparative animal biology and how this has revolutionized our understanding animal evolution. These data include developmental genetics, genomics, and molecular phylogenetics . C. Lowe. Winter.
