Examination will be based on a practical exercise of approximately 3 hours, to be carried out in the computer room. The exercise will include the main topics of the course and will be comparable to what already experienced during the hands on lectures. Final evaluation will be based upon the obtained results and will follow a discussion with the teacher about the information and procedures carried out to solve the exercise.

Programma
The following topics will be explored from a theoretical and a practical/applicative angle:
1) Genetic admixture and local ancestry;
2) Ancestry deconvolution and ancestry-specific analyses;
3) Population differentiation among human groups, both at a genome-wide and at a locus-specific level;
4) Effect on the genome of natural selection events;
5) Introgression events between Homo sapiens and Archaic humans;
These general objectives are addressed through critical discussion of case-studies taken from primary scientific literature on Molecular Anthropology, and through extensive hands on exercise in a computer lab.
