Dear all, We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) "Human Population and Evolutionary Genetics" offered by the Institut Pasteur (Paris). The course will begin on October 14, 2025. The HPEG MOOC will give you an overview of the basic concepts of human population genetics by demonstrating how genomic data is used to learn about human history and how natural selection has impacted our species. Part I: Essential concepts in population and evolutionary genetics Part II: Tools to reconstruct past human history, with an overview of the genetic history of human populations worldwide Part III: Natural selection and methods to detect it, including examples of human adaptation to local environments Part IV: Insights from modern and ancient genomes, highlighting breakthroughs in our understanding of human evolutionary history and biology To learn more and register, please visit the course website: https://www.fun-mooc.fr/en/courses/human-population-and-evolutionary-genetics/ We hope you will join us!
