Course abstract
In this course, we will introduce techniques to analyze dynamics of evolving microbial populations. The topics we will look to cover are as follows.
- Introduction to Evolution and population dynamics;
- Fitness Landscape and Sequence Spac
- Evolutionary Game Theory (fitness dependent on frequency);
- Origin of Cooperation (genes to genomes; single-cell to multicellular organisms
- Evolutionary Graph Theor
- Modeling Infinite Population
- Examples: Analysis of evolution of Virulence, Cancer, and HI
All biology student (with basic XI and XII standard biology) interested in learning development of models, and all students from engineering/physics/chemistry background but passionate about learning modeling of biological processes will benefit from the course.
