BIO 381 - Topics: Molecular Evolution (1)

Much of the world learned about molecular evolution while reading about the emergence of variants of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2). Techniques used to trace SARS-CoV-2 evolution were developed by evolutionary biologists who study the evolution of molecules, and who use molecules to study the evolution of organisms. Evolutionary biologists continue to develop new analytical methods to measure evolution. In this course, you will learn current methods used to study molecular evolution. This course meets the “cell elective” requirement for BIO and BMB majors. BIO 211
