中文简介:
为什么开发一种消灭脊髓灰质炎的疫苗比控制流感或艾滋病更容易?是否有“语言基因”的自然选择?为什么没有带轮子的动物? “最大化健康”何时会导致进化灭绝?性与寄生虫有何关系?蛇为什么不吃草?为什么我们的脑袋里没有眼睛?现代基因组学如何说明和挑战该领域?本课程从计算,建模和工程角度分析演变。该课程在模型构建和分析进化数据方面拥有广泛的实践实验练习。
课程简介: Why has it been easier to develop a vaccine to eliminate polio than to control influenza or AIDS? Has there been natural selection for a 'language gene'? Why are there no animals with wheels? When does 'maximizing fitness' lead to evolutionary extinction? How are sex and parasites related? Why don't snakes eat grass? Why don't we have eyes in the back of our heads? How does modern genomics illustrate and challenge the field? This course analyzes evolution from a computational, modeling, and engineering perspective. The course has extensive hands-on laboratory exercises in model-building and analyzing evolutionary data.
关 键 词: 自然选择; 语言基因; 现代基因组学
