| Course objective | Statistical genetic analyses of Mendelian data are very important in the assessment of the suspect using DNA profiles and remains. In the first part of the forensic analyses and estimation methods course, basics of Mendelian genetics and its extension will be taught firstly. After that, population genetic theory will be shown with its extensions and instances relevant to human populations. | |||||

| Course Content | The course content will folow the latest developments in genetic data thta can be Mendelized. Extensions of Mendelian genetics i.e. realisic dominance issues between alleles, genetic linkage and sex-linked inheritance, quantitative genetics, genetics of organelles. Population genetics theory that gives a sound general knowledge of classical selection, drift and molecular population genetics models. Mendelian genetics and population genetics aspects will complemet each other. | |||||
