[Plsgs] ECOL 596x Evolutionary Epigenetics

[Lambert, Georgina M - (glambert)]

On behalf of EEB:

ECOL 596x: Evolutionary Epigenetics, Spring 2019
Meeting time: 10am-12pm, Mondays (tentative)
Research on epigenetic modifications of the genome has exploded in the past decade with the realization that these modifications are central to understanding gene expression and regulation. Yet, the implications of these advances for evolutionary biology are still unclear. In this discussion-based seminar course we will read recent papers in the field to understand the role epigenetic variation plays in development, gene expression, transgenerational plasticity and adaptive evolution, drawing heavily on recent studies in humans and other mammals. The course explicitly integrates discussion of evolutionary causation and the link between phenotype and genotype with findings in the field of epigenetics to encourage students to debate about if and how current discoveries change our understanding of adaptation and evolution.
