This training course provides students with basic knowledge in population genetics through computer assisted analyses of different molecular datasets provided by the teachers. The practical work consists in carrying out the different steps of a study aiming at analysing the genetic diversity of populations: data management, data analysis using various R packages and programs in population genetics, graphical representations, interpretation of the results. The theoretical concepts are introduced at the beginning of each course and trained during the practical sessions.
