Course contents
Module 2. The course will describe, by means of theoretical lessons and practical laboratory sessions, the application of biochemical (MLEE) and molecular (RFLP, AFLP, rDNA, RAPD, scnDNA, SSR, mtDNA and SNPs) techniques to reveal genetic variability in animal populations. This genetic variability, deduced from DNA and protein polymorphisms, is the basis for different methodologies for the study of taxa at the systematic, population genetics and phylogenetic levels. The combination of different methods to detect variation and the use of appropriate statistical analyses provides an overview of the potentiality of such approaches in different fields of evolutionary and conservation biology.
