Course content
The subject of the discipline is the phylogenetic relationships between microorganisms, their relationships with other phyla of the tree of life; methods and technologies for obtaining, comparing, analyzing, annotating gene and protein sequences; methods of phylogeny reconstruction based on individual sequences and whole genomes; molecular markers to establish bacterial phylogeny; horizontal gene transfer as a factor of species diversity of microorganisms; modern approaches to genome analysis and phylogeny reconstruction, characteristic of the post-omic era.
