Dear all,

We invite you to attend the course New Technologies for Developmental
Evolutionary Biology Studies (3rd edition), which will take place
December 15th-19th 2025 at Universidad Aut�noma de Madrid, Spain. This
link <https://sites.google.com/view/evodevo2025/home> provides all
the information about the course, which is partially sponsored by the
Centro de Investigaci�n en Biodiversidad y Cambio Global (CIBC-UAM

Evolutiva (SESBE <https://sesbe.org/>) and the Departamento de Biolog�a
<https://www.uam.es/ciencias/facultad/departamentos/biologia> (UAM).

This course, with a strong theoretical foundation and an intense
practical component, aims to update students' knowledge in evolutionary
developmental biology and stimulate their creativity, expanding the
range of techniques to be used in their research projects.

Topics covered:

  * comparative transcriptomics
  * single cell transcriptomics
  * bulk transcriptomics
  * spatial transcriptomics
  * ATAC-seq technique
  * phylogenomics
  * comparative genomics
  * gene regulation
  * plastic phenotypes
  * evolutionary novelties
