In this EMBO Practical Course, participants will learn fundamental concepts
and advanced approaches to reconstruct the demographic history of
populations and infer natural selection, using both classic and machine
learning-based techniques. Participants will also learn the essential and
advanced programming skills required to run the analyses related to the
concept presented, with a special focus on machine learning. Keynote
lectures focused on major achievements and future perspectives of
population genomics will complement the training. Lectures and practicals
are delivered by experienced outstanding and inspiring speakers. We expect
participants to become fully confident in running analyses on their own
after attending the course.

This course aims at evolutionary biologists who already have basic
bioinformatics skills. Good knowledge of R is a pre-requisite and knowledge
of Python is a plus. Ph.D. students and Postdoc researchers will benefit
the most out of this course, but applications from all candidates will be
evaluated in their context.


Thank you in advance.



Best regards,
