Dear colleagues, Transmitting Science is offering the online course "The Genomic Footprint of Natural Selection: Inference from Population Data". Course webpage: https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/genetics-and-genomics/the-genomic-footprint-of-natural-selection/ This course examines the concepts and analytical methods used to detect genomic signatures of natural selection, with a particular focus on adaptive selection in humans. Through a combination of interactive lectures and hands-on sessions, participants will develop a solid theoretical background in population genetics and measures of genetic diversity relevant to studying selection at the genomic level. Throughout the course, practical and conceptual challenges, such as demographic confounding, limited statistical power, and difficulties in biological interpretation, will be addressed. By the end of the course, participants will be able to critically assess genomic evidence for natural selection and to understand how such inferences inform research on human evolution and biomedicine.
