Dear all, We are excited to announce our upcoming online course on DNA Methylation in Ecology and Evolution, which will take place from 10th to 14th February 2025. This course offers a valuable opportunity for researchers and professionals to gain in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience with cutting-edge DNA methylation analysis techniques. Course website: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/dnamethylation/ ) In this course, we will introduce the different available approaches for obtaining and analysing DNA methylation data, including bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq, EM-seq) with Ilumina and long reads with Oxford Nanopore. We will also touch on PacBio long-read analysis. We will cover all necessary steps to obtain methylation information from high throughput data to statistical analyses used to identify differentially methylated sites and regions. By the end of the course, participants will be familiar with all steps required to extract methylation information from high-throughput sequencing data and interpret their biological relevance in ecological and evolutionary studies. This course is aimed at researchers and technical workers who are or who will be generating and/or analysing DNA methylation from whole genome bisulfite sequencing data from IIlumina, PacBio data or Nanopore data. Examples demonstrated in this course will involve primarily non-model organisms with a draft reference genome available and examples of applications of this data type for different purposes will be covered.
