The course focuses on comparative genomics both in the vertical direction, between species, with an emphasis on biological evolution, and in the horizontal direction, interspecies, with emphasis on diversity of populations. It describes the main evolutionary principles and their application to genomic and proteomic data with a focus on second and third generation high-throughput sequencing methods. It describes methods and algorithms of construction of phylogenetic trees from genic, genomic and protein sequences. It shows the differences between genome and species trees. It also describes known mutation processes, genome evolution, the molecular clock concept, selection and genetic drift on the molecular level, nucleotide composition, polymorphisms. One lecture is devoted to evaluating the quality and reliability of genetic trees. Furthermore, the course describes genetic variability within populations, ways of measuring this variability, and various models of population genetics. Special attention is paid to the main evolutionary forces that shape this population variability (genetic drift, isolation, migration, selection). Clinical applications include the detection of mutations in both germline and somatic lineage and their link to human diseases.
