ECL243 "Ecological Genomics" is a graduate course taught annually by Jeff Ross-Ibarra and Andrew Whitehead at UC Davis. Part of the course includes student-guided discussion of the literature, which culminates in a written summary that is posted on PubPeer. Below are papers that students chose for discussion, including the link to the PubPeer summary.
