Course content
Phylogenetic analysis is a modern approach to the study of the evolutionary history of organisms and their relationship to each other in many biological sciences (genetics, microbiology, virology, zoology, botany, etc.). As part of the Phylogenetic Analysis course, students have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the theory and practice of phylogenetic analysis, master the skills of conducting it, and learn how to formulate an evolutionary scenario based on an existing phylogenetic tree. The discipline "Phylogenetic Analysis" is a part of the cycle of professional training of specialists of the master's degree, its theoretical core is formed by such sciences as the theory of evolution and statistical analysis. At the same time, it is closely related to such disciplines as biodiversity, systematics, bio- and phylogeography, evolutionary morphology, etc.
