Join us for a full RADSeq wetlab & bioinformatics workshop in Monterrey, Mexico July 20-27, 2026! The RADCamp organizers are hosting an interactive RADSeq wetlab and bioinformatic processing workshop designed to guide participants through a full RADSeq pilot study. It will take place over eight days each during two weeks at Tecnológico de Monterrey, Monterrey, Mexico (July 20-27, 2026). First, participants will each use up to 24 samples of their own project's DNA extractions in a wet-lab workshop, where we will prepare dual digest RAD-seq libraries (3RAD). These libraries will be sequenced in-house for paired-end Illumina sequencing. The laboratory costs will be completely subsidized (FREE!). Then, we will focus on reproducible bioinformatic assembly and analysis of participants' pilot RAD-seq data sets using ipyrad. This workshop is designed as a boot camp for early-career scientists to learn best practices that they can then share with the broader community. This has been made possible through generous funding from the American Genetic Association, Society for the Study of Evolution, International Society for Computational Biology, and the International Biogeography Society. We encourage all scientists to submit their applications. We especially welcome women, underrepresented minorities, early-stage students, or people with the potential to pass on skills to large groups. Partial funding support (need-based) for travel and accommodations is available and can be applied for through the workshop application. A registration fee ($50 US dollars) will be due upon acceptance. The application for participation can be found here: https://forms.gle/TMK1WAU1U1QmDk248 More information about the schedule and planned activities can be found here: https://radcamp.github.io/LatinAmerica2026/ Apply by January 11!
