Learning outcomes
General learning outcomes
After this course, you will be able to:
- Interpret phylogenetic trees and sequence alignments
- Infer orthologs and paralogs using graph- and tree-based methods
- Design and implement comparative analyses to interrogate genomics data, e.g. phylogenomics or gene family dynamics
Learning outcomes explained
To reach the general learning outcomes above, we have set a number of smaller learning outcomes. Each chapter starts with these smaller learning outcomes. Use these at the start of a chapter to get an idea what you will learn. Use them also at the end of a chapter to evaluate whether you have learned what you were expected to learn.
Learning experiences
To reach the learning outcomes we will use lectures and exercises. During exercises, you are free to discuss with other participants. During lectures, focus on the lecture only.
Exercises
Each block has practical work involved. Some more than others. The practicals are subdivided into chapters, and we’ll have a (short) discussion after each chapter. All answers to the practicals are incorporated, but they are hidden. Do the exercise first by yourself, before checking out the answer. If your answer is different from the answer in the practicals, try to figure out why they are different.
Asking questions
During lectures, you are encouraged to ask questions if you have some!
