Summer course in analysis of high throughput data for population genetics The course is a comprehensive introduction to a number of topics and common research tools used in analyses of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. Topics include: genetic drift, natural selection, population structure, recent and ancient admixture, f-statistics and demographic inference. We will cover the theoretical concepts but the main focus is practical use of the methods. Lectures will be combined with hands-on computer exercises. Date: August 4-8, 2025 Place: Copenhagen, Denmark (virtual option available) Organized by: The Department of Biology and GLOBE, University of Copenhagen Instructors: Martin Sikora, Shyam Gopalakrishnan, Katia Bougiouri, Fernando Racimo, Anders Albrechtsen, and Ida Moltke Price: On site: Free for all PhD students at Danish, Faroese and Greenlandic universities. 200 Euro for all other students.

Africa BioGenome Project participants: The course will be offered as part of the African BioGenome Project Open Institute East and Central Africa Regional Workshop. Intended Learning Outcome After the course the student should be able to: - Use population genetic theory to infer basic population genetics characteristics from genetic data - Be able to infer ancestry and population structure based on genetic data - Use NGS data including low depth for population genetic inference. - Select the optimal strategy for selection scans depending on the population genetics characteristics of the sample population, including taking population structure into account - Interpret and discuss the results of own analyses and results in the scientific literature For more information and sign up visit: https://website.popgen.dk/summer/ For questions write to cphsummercourse@gmail.com Patr�cia Chrzanov� Pecnerov� (to subscribe/unsubscribe the EvolDir send mail to golding@mcmaster.ca)
