About CBI

    CBI- the Centre for BioInformatics is the first bioinformatics center in China, founded in 1996. It is currently home to seven faculty and staff, one adjunct faculty, and 20 doctorate students. Located in the new Life Science Building on Peking University campus, it houses several computing labs with strong computer hardware and software facilities and a molecular biology lab. While continuing to maintain the first and largest online bioinformatics resource in China as China's official national node of EMBnet, CBI has published in the areas of gene expression regulation, genome analysis and evolution, and pathway networks. CBI is supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Education, and Natural Science Foundation of China.

This graduate course is a summary of the investigation of evolutionary genomics, a rapidly growing area in molecular evolution as a consequence of genomic studies in recent years. We will lecture basic tools and conceptual progresses in the field, including new gene evolution, molecular clock, gene duplications, and intron evoluton, and chromosome evolution. We will discuss all major issues in the area, such as genome expansion, genome composition, gene orders, origin of intron evolutions, transposable elements, and comparative genomics, evolution of sex chromosomes and sex-related genes, systems biology and network evolution. One debate will be organized, where students will have opportunity to practice how to express their ideas articulately.

This course comprises 15 lectures (55 minutes), 11 minilectures (10-15 minutes), 13 student presentations (2 x 20 minutes), and one debate (120 minutes). 30 hours in classroom; 15-25 hours of reading and presentation preparation: 1-2 hours of literature reading required for every lecture and presentation; 2-4 hours of literature reading and presentation-preparation are required for the debate.

Office hours: Tuesday and Thursday: 3:00-5:00 pm; More after-class discussions are encouraged
