Dear all, We are pleased to announce that a few seats remain for the upcoming Physalia online course: Comparative Genomics. Dates: (online) 7-11 AprilCourse website: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course34/ ) This five-day course provides a comprehensive introduction to comparative genomics, with a focus on structural variation. Participants will explore a range of tools and workflows, covering: Genome assembly and annotation for eukaryotic genomes Identification of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and structural variants (SVs) Functional analysis of genomic variations in an evolutionary context The course combines lectures with hands-on practical exercises, ensuring participants develop both theoretical understanding and practical skills. By the end of this course, participants will: Identify SNPs and SVs using de novo assembly and read mapping approaches Evaluate sequencing technologies (Illumina, PacBio, Oxford Nanopore) for variant detection Compare multiple genomes and analyze structural variations Annotate variations and interpret their functional impacts For the full list of our courses and workshops, please visit: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course34/ ) Best regards, Carlo Carlo Pecoraro, Ph.D Physalia-courses DIRECTOR info@physalia-courses.org mobile: +49 17645230846 ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/physalia-courses-a64418127/ ) "info@physalia-courses.org" (to subscribe/unsubscribe the EvolDir send mail to golding@mcmaster.ca)
