Dear evoldir members, Transmitting Science is offering the course "Proteomic Methods for Species Identification of Archaeological and Palaeontological Materials" (3rd edition). Learn more and register here: https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/genetics-and-genomics/palaeoproteomics-and-zooarchaeology-by-mass-spectrometry-zooms/ In this course, participants will be introduced to proteomic methods for species identification, focusing on peptide mass fingerprinting by MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry and LC-MS/MS based approaches. During the course, participants will first be introduced to some theory with illustrative examples (both from simulated data as well as some real datasets) and will then learn how to interpret the data, both MS1 (e.g., fingerprints) and MS2 (or MS/MS 'sequencing' spectra), as well as how to assess their reliability. Instructor: Dr. Michael Buckley (University of Manchester, UK), author of ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry) If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us at courses@transmittingscience.com Best regards, Haris Haris Saslis, PhD Course Coordinator Transmitting Science www.transmittingscience.com [1] Links: [1] http://www.transmittingscience.com Haris Saslis - Transmitting Science (to subscribe/unsubscribe the EvolDir send mail to golding@mcmaster.ca)
