Hi everyone
Last chance to enroll in our 5-day seminar on Genomics for Ecological and Evolutionary Studies, running livestreaming Oct 13 – 17 and led by Prof. Giulio Formenti from the Vertebrate Genome Lab at The Rockefeller University and Dr. Guido Gallo from the Department of Biosciences at the University of Milan. Designed for PhD students, academics, and professional researchers, this hands-on workshop using Python and R blends foundational theory with practical bioinformatics, guiding you through the evolution of DNA sequencing from Sanger to next-generation and third-generation technologies. You’ll learn to process and analyze real sequencing data using command-line tools such as Bowtie 2, Samtools, Minimap2, Freebayes, and IGV, and you’ll gain experience assembling draft genomes, evaluating assembly statistics, and integrating genomic insights into ecological and evolutionary research questions.
Sign up today to secure your spot, and feel free to share this opportunity with colleagues and students who might benefit!
Best wishes
