Live Online Course: Introduction to phylogenomics, November 4-18, 2024
Soledad De Esteban Trivigno
Dear colleagues,
I am excited to let you know that we have a new edition of Transmitting Science Phylogenomics course: Introduction to Phylogenomics (3rd edition).
Online live sessions on November 4th, 6th, 8th, 11th, 13th, 15th, and 18th, 2024; from 18:00 to 21:00 (Madrid time zone).
Instructors: Dr.
Jeremy M Brown (Louisiana
State University, USA) and Dr.
Robert Thomson (University
of Hawaii, USA)
Course overview:
This course will introduce participants to the theory and tools for phylogenetic inference in the era of genome sequencing. Course material will focus on statistical methods for phylogeny estimation, software implementing these methods, applications of these methods to large molecular datasets, and discuss trade-offs and tools for improving the accuracy of phylogenomic analyses. In hands-on practical sessions, participants will gain experience working with bioinformatic and statistical tools for analyzing large datasets.
The course is intended to facilitate ongoing or planned phylogenomics projects by students, so they are encouraged to notify instructors in advance about the topics of greatest relevance to their own work.
Example software: RevBayes, IQTree, SVDQuartets, ASTRAL, TreeScaper
Places are limited to 18 participants.
