About Ecological And Evolutionary Genomics Msc in Queen Mary University of London

Global ecological change is occurring at a rapid rate and we are seeing a remarkable spread of diseases, collapses in biodiversity and disruption to ecosystems. In this course you’ll cover the bioinformatics methods, algorithms and resources used for tasks such as sequence assembly, gene finding and genome annotation, phylogenetics, analysis of genomic variance among populations, genome wide association studies and prediction of gene structure and function. 

You’ll also master next-generation DNA sequencing and delve into current developments in the field, and get invaluable experience using relevant existing bioinformatics tools, data formats and databases.

As this practical course is specially developed to give you a practical education, you will conduct advanced analytical research during a two-week tropical ecology field trip to Borneo.

In the second semester, you have the opportunity to delve into a topic that interests you and conduct your own substantive six-month research project. This may be jointly supervised by highly-regarded contacts from related institutes or within industry - giving you excellent networking opportunities.
