Lectures on these topics will be complemented by hands-on computer practicals introducing a wide range of software packages, both in R and Python.<br><br>This course is aimed at evolutionary biologists who already have basic bioinformatics skills. The main criterion for selection will be how much a candidate can benefit from the course. This implies that PhD students and Postdoc researchers will likely be favoured; however, applications from candidates at all levels will be considered.<br></font></div><div><b style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Fellowships to cover travel expenses and for childcare are available.</b><br></div><div><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><span style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Kind regards,</span></div><div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font color="#000000" face="verdana, sans-serif"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Loredana Le Pera (ELIXIR-IIB Deputy Training Coordinator, IBIOM-CNR, IBPM-CNR, Italy)</span></font></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><br></div><div><div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font face="times new roman, serif"><i><br></i></font></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font face="times new roman, serif"><i>We apologise for cross-posting.</i></font></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><i><span style="background-color:transparent;font-family:"times new roman",serif">Please, email us back with the word REMOVE as the subject line, if you don't want to receive </span><font face="times new roman,
