WiSe24: Human Genetic Variation

This seminar was designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of biological trait variation and human genetic diversity. Through interactive learning exercises, including more than three classroom activities with detailed handouts, participants developed skills to calculate genetic diversity and allele frequencies across species and to estimate genetic variations within population groups.

Prerequisite: none

Semesters Taught: WiSe2024.

Course Module: Humangenetik
