Dear all,

We are excited to announce that registrations are now open for our
upcoming online course (6th edition) "Population Genomic Inference from
Low-Coverage Whole-Genome Sequencing Data" taking place from October
20-23.

Course website: (
https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course64/ )
Course Overview: This course offers a cost-effective approach to
survey genome-wide variation at a population scale using low-coverage
sequencing. Participants will learn how to navigate the challenges of
high genotyping uncertainty through probabilistic frameworks, essential
for accurate population genomic inference. Key topics include: Workflows
centered around genotype likelihoods for whole-genome and reduced
representation studies.

Methods and algorithms in the ANGSD software package and related programs.

Best-practice guidelines for processing and analyzing low-coverage
sequencing data.

Target Audience: This course is ideal for researchers with experience in
next-generation sequencing (NGS) (e.g., exome, RAD, pooled sequencing)
who are interested in low-coverage whole-genome sequencing. It is also
suitable for those seeking an introduction to the ANGSD software and
its probabilistic framework.

Prerequisites: Participants should have a basic background in population
genomics and familiarity with NGS data. Knowledge of UNIX-based command
line and R is advantageous. Participants without prior experience in Unix
and R should complete suggested tutorials beforehand, as the course will
not cover these environments in detail.

Course Outcomes: By the end of the course, participants will: Understand
the use of whole-genome sequencing for population genomics.

Recognize the challenges and statistical frameworks of low-coverage
sequencing data.

Be able to build bioinformatic pipelines for various population genomic
analyses using ANGSD/ngsTools/Atlas.

Teaching Format: The course includes interactive lectures, small
exercises, and longer independent practical sessions each day. Data for
exercises will be provided.
