Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Main themes
Quantitative and population genetics (LBRAI 2101)
Section A: Population Genetics (2 ECTS) Genetic structure of a single population (Mendelian population, genotypic and gene frequencies). Genotypic and gene frequencies in populations in equilibrium (Hardy-Weinberg Law). Systematic factors (mutation, selection, migration) and dispersive factors (fixation or loss of alleles, inbreeding) determining the population variation. Characterization of genetic polymorphism and measurement of diversity within and between populations. Part B: Quantitative Genetics (1 ECTS) Extending Mendelian genetics genetic to quantitative traits. Study of phenotypic variance with statistical determination of the share due to environmental and phenotypic differences in genotype. Heritability of quantitative traits and breeding strategies for transfer and accumulation of alleles. Identifying QTLs (quantitative traits loci) Part C: Structure of genomes and comparative genomics (1 ECTS) Presentation / reminders on genetic information structure (repeated sequences, gene families, genome structure). Genetic mapping extended to over three genes and introduction to physical mapping. Genomics and Evolution: structural genomics and comparative genomics.

a. Contribution from operations AA repository program M1.1., M2.1., M3.5 b. Specific formulation for this activity AA program At the end of this activity, the student is able to: - Understand how are structured populations and how they evolve from a genetic point of view. - Understand the concepts of genetic diversity, selection and inbreeding. - Anticipate the evolution of natural populations and populations managed by man. - Understand the conceptual bases of animal and plant breeding: breeding value, heritability, genotype-environment interaction, heterosis. - Integrate developments in molecular biology in the study of populations and quantitative traits (including QTL). - Perceive the dynamics and organization of genetic information in the genome. |
