This year course(s)

BIOL 364. Invertebrate Biology Emphasis on diversity, development, physiology and behavior of invertebrate organisms - the "spineless wonders" of the world.

EEOB 563. Molecular Phylogenetic An overview of the theory underlying phylogenetic analysis and applications of phylogenetic methods to molecular datasets. The course emphasizes a hands-on approach to molecular phylogenetics and combines lecture presentations with computer exercises and discussion of original scientific literature.

EEB 698 Section 1. Evolution of Genome Architecture This graduate seminar uses student-led discussions to explore some of the evolutionary processes that may have contributed to the structure of present-day genomes. The course will focus on reading Mike Lynch's book The Origins of Genome Architecture and will cover many aspects of genome structure, including genome size, intron position, regulatory elements, transposable elements, organelle genomes, and sex chromosome differences. The seminar will supplement the book with additional sources from the primary literature to explore the theoretical and empirical basis of genome organization.
