Advanced studies, no formal prerequisites. The course is tailored for Bioinformatics Master program (MBI) students and suitable to all students interested in population genetics and genomics, pedigree and haplotype inference, coalescence (see below).

Grading is fail/pass or, if desired, 1-5.
Contents of lectures, computer class exercises, and homework
The course is about population genetics, evolutionary factors which shape population structures, coalescence, haplotypes, an emphasis is in human populations, data analysis and simulation methods which lead to understanding human population genomic structures and human diseases (the course is not, however, a disease gene mapping course).
