Dear all, We are excited to announce our upcoming online course on Conservation Genomics, scheduled for July 22nd-25th, 2024. Course website: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course62/ ) This course will provide a comprehensive introduction to utilizing population genomics tools in conservation efforts. Our instructors will cover study design, genomic data collection, SNP filtering, and various analyses including population structure, local adaptation, effective population size, inbreeding, and relatedness. Through hands-on exercises, participants will gain essential bioinformatics skills and learn to interpret genomic data in a conservation context. The course is tailored for graduate students and researchers interested in applying genomic tools to conservation biology. Previous experience in UNIX-based command line and R is required. Hands-on exercises will be run in a Linux environment on remote servers and data analysis and visualization will be run in R using RStudio. Learning Outcomes: 1. Study design and genomic data collection methods 2. Handling raw genomic data to produce SNP datasets 3. Assessing population structure and adaptation signals 4. Estimating effective population size, inbreeding, and relatedness For the full list of our courses and workshops, please visit: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course62/ Best regards, Carlo Carlo Pecoraro, Ph.D Physalia-courses DIRECTOR info@physalia-courses.org mobile: +49 17645230846 "info@physalia-courses.org" (to subscribe/unsubscribe the EvolDir send mail to golding@mcmaster.ca)
