This course will cover quantitative genetic theory for inheritance and evolution of continuous traits over contemporary timescales. Students will learn how to estimate statistical quantities such as genetic variances and heritability using classical pedigree analysis and more recent genomic methods. In the lab component students will learn how to analyze quantitative genetic data sets using modern statistical software and methods.
