Workshop Overview:
The Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics brings together an international collection of faculty members and Workshop participants to study and discuss current ideas and techniques for the analysis of genomic data on the level of populations and closely related species. The Workshop consists of a series of lectures, demonstrations and computer laboratories that cover various aspects of genomics focusing primarily on the analysis of modern sequencing data. Faculty are chosen exclusively for their effectiveness in teaching theory and practice. The course is designed for established investigators, postdoctoral scholars, and advanced graduate students. Scientists with strong interests in the uses of modern sequence data, analytical methods, and the use of modern sequence data to study populations of closely related species are encouraged to apply for admission. Lectures and computer laboratories total ~90 hours of scheduled instruction. No programming experience is required.
Topics to be covered include:
- Introductions to UNIX, R, and Python
- Analyzing genomic data in the “cloud”
- Genomics data handling and file formats
- RAD (Restriction site Associated DNA) data analysis
- Analysis of low-coverage resequencing data
- Variant detection
- Likelihood and Bayesian inference
- Coalescent analyses of population structure and demography
- Analysis of adaptation and natural selection
- Selective sweep analyses
- Detection of introgression and admixture
- More!
