COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Study methods in population genomics have been profoundly reshaped in the
last few years thanks to the growing availability of complete genomic
sequences at population level. The rapid and recent growth of data and
methods calls for new approaches to become routine in evolutionary genomics
laboratories. The objective of this Practical Course is to give an overview
of state of the art methods in population genomics combining lecturing from
outstanding experienced population geneticists and software developers. All
conceptual innovation will be presented in lectures and applied in practice
both individually and in group work.

Practicals include computer exercises supervised by lecturers and training
assistants. After attending the course participants will be aware of
up-to-date concepts in population genetics, capable of running analyses
using software based on whole genome data sequences and able to deal with
basic aspects of any population genomics project. This Practical Course
aims at evolutionary biologists who already have bioinformatics skills. PhD
students and Post-Doc researchers will benefit the most out of this course,
but applications from all candidates will be evaluated in their context.
