Population Genomics: Theoretical Frameworks and Analyses

This exam examines the theoretical foundations of population genomics, emphasizing concepts like genetic diversity, population structure, and evolutionary dynamics. Key analytical methods used in studying populations will also be reviewed.

Population genomics is critical for understanding evolutionary patterns and species conservation. Insights gained from population studies can inform strategies in wildlife management and human health research.

Candidates will be expected to articulate the principles of population genomics and analyze case studies discussing genetic diversity and structure. The examination will involve critical thinking regarding the implications of these concepts.

Mastery of these principles furthers candidates' readiness to apply genomic approaches to real-world population issues, therefore enhancing their professional expertise.
