Because there are already more than 30 participants in this course and to our lecture hall (HS 2) at most 24 persons can be admitted (under the current Covid regulations), I will start this course digitally. We will use Blackboard Collaborate for our lectures. I already installed a link for the first unit on October 5 in Moodle. Further detailed information and additional updates will be provided in Moodle (and on my homepage: https://homepage.univie.ac.at/Reinhard.Buerger/lva.html).

Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This lecture course gives an introduction to mathematical population genetics. Population genetics is concerned with the study of the genetic composition of populations and how this composition is changed by genetic, ecological, or evolutionary factors such as selection, mutation, recombination, mating, migration, or random genetic drift. Therefore, in population genetics these mechanisms and their interactions are studied. Population genetics is a prerequisite for understanding biological evolution and has important applications in animal and plant breeding, as well as in conservation biology. In this course, an introduction to the most fundamental mathematical models is provided. These are usually formulated in terms of differential- or difference equations, or as Markov processes. In the simplest cases, these models describe the evolution of gene frequencies under the influence of the above mentioned factors. Also models are designed that allow inferences about evolutionary processes in the history of a population given data of its present genetic conposition. Students are strongly advised to attend the exercises (PS) because many important examples will be treated there that illustrate and deepen the theory covered by the lectures. The exercises will be held bi-weakly (then 90 minutes).
