online course - Machine and Deep Learning Methods in Population Genomics

[Carlo Pecoraro]

Dear all,

 

We are pleased to announce the upcoming Physalia online course “Machine and Deep Learning Methods in Population Genomics and Phylogeography” taking place from 23 to 26 March.

 

 

Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/deep-learning-in-popgen/

 

 

This 4-day course provides a hands-on introduction to machine learning and deep learning approaches—particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)—for demographic inference, phylogeography, and detection of selective sweeps from genomic data. Participants will learn how to simulate genetic data, apply ABC and machine learning methods, and use deep learning models directly on genetic datasets.

 

The course combines lectures and practical sessions, with examples from both model and non-model organisms, and is aimed at graduate students, postdocs, and researchers in evolutionary biology, population genomics, and related fields.

 

 

Sessions run daily from 14:00 to 19:00 (Berlin time) and include lectures, practical coding exercises, and real-world case studies. 

 

For the full list of our courses and workshops, please visit: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/

 

 

 

Kind regards,
Carlo
