Fall Academic Term 2004 (September 7 - December 23) Search the LS&A Course Guide (Advanced Search Page) ANTHRBIO 450. Molecular Anthropology. Section 001. Instructor(s): Prerequisites: At least one anthropology or biology course. (3). May not be repeated for credit. Credits: (3). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. This course will cover, in detail, how to collect various kinds of molecular data. This includes polymorphisms involving PCR amplicon size, RFLP's, STR's, and DNA nucleotide and protein amino acid sequences. The theories behind these methods will be discussed so that students will understand the nature of the data being collected. This is the prerequisite course for the Molecular Anthropology Lab course, and provides the necessary background theory to learn how to actually do these procedures in lab. The second third of the course involves analysis of molecular data, and encompasses basic population genetic techniques for the analysis of molecular genetic data. These include computation of genetic distance, heterogeneity, and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium from actual data. The final third of the course will involve either presentations of critiques and explanations of published works or novel analyses of data acquired from the literature or from online databases (Genbank, GDB, etc.). The course pack will involve readings from the field. Check Times, Location, and Availability Cost: No Data Given. Waitlist Code: No Data Given. ANTHRBIO 452. Population Genetics and Anthropology. Section 001. Instructor(s): Prerequisites: One course in anthropology or biology. (4). May not be repeated for credit. No credit granted to those who have completed EEB 490. Credits: (4). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. This course covers the basics of population genetics, with special reference to evolutionary questions and questions relating to anthropology. Core concepts of population genetics will be emphasized, including: selection, drift, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, neutrality, heterogeneity, genetic distance, gene flow, founder effects, and bottlenecks. Regular homework assignments will require students to calculate these various measures from real and simulated data. Final projects will involve population genetic analyses of data to test hypotheses using real and simulated data. There will be midterm and final exams involving quantitative and qualitative questions about population genetics and evolution. Text: "Principles of Population Genetics" Third Edition, by Daniel L. Hartl and Andrew G. Clark, Sinauer Associates, Sunderland, MA 1997 Available at the Shaman Drum Bookstore on State Street. A copy will be placed on reserve in the library, as will any articles assigned. Course Requirements: Readings: All assigned readings must be completed before the assigned class period. Additional readings outside the textbook will be assigned during the semester. Homework problems are due as specified in the syllabus. Late homeworks will be penalized one point per day, so an assignment due Wednesday and turned in on the following Monday would be docked 5 points prior to grading. Exams: There will be three exams: two in-class exams and a final exam (during finals week) worth approximately 100 points each. Each exam will include material from the text, readings, films, and discussions contained in the previous unit. Each exam may include essay, short answer, and multiple choice questions. Project: There will be a project worth a total of 100 points. Please see the enclosed descriptions of the project. Check Times, Location, and Availability Cost: No Data Given.
