>
>Please find below information regarding a course being organised by the
>population genetics graduate school entitled 'molecular methods in
>population genetics'. I have also attached an A4 version with the same
>information for placing on notice boards. Please feel free to forward this
>information to others who may be interested.

>Molecular methods in population genetics
>
>An intensive postgraduate course to be held at the Viikki Science Park,
>University of Helsinki, September 10-12
>
>Aims
>· To familiarise students with molecular markers available for use in
>population genetic research, focussing on newer marker types such as
>microsatellites, AFLPs and SNPs.
>· To familiarise students with the molecular analysis methods with which
>these markers can be analysed.
>· To outline the advantages and disadvantages of different molecular=
 markers
>and methods for different types of population genetic studies.
>· To encourage students to use this information when designing their own
>projects.

>Registration
>Email craig.primmer@helsinki.fi by June 20 if you are interested in

>applied by August 8th, and to then give a 15 minute presentation on their
>project at the course.
>There is no cost for attending the lectures. Travel and accommodation costs
>are also covered for students associated with the Graduate School of
>Population Genetics and the Graduate School of Wildlife Biology,
>Conservation and Management.
