<p>Hi,<br>
A one week course on study design of phylogenomics studies will be
held in Lund on 5th-9th of May. The course is unique in that there
will be <b>no hands on computer labs</b>, but focus on how to
plan, set up and run a next generation sequencing phylogenomics
project. I believe that it will be useful for PhD students, post
docs but also for PIs.<br>
</p>
<p>Please pass this on to anyone you think may be interested in
participating in this course!<br>

<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Course outline: </strong>The course comprises lectures,
discussions, and group activities focused on design of
phylogenomic studies. Expected learning outcomes are that
participants should be able to recognize, articulate,
differentiate, explain, compare and apply core concepts of
phylogenomics, recall relevant literature, and design studies to
solve relevant phylogenetic problems using genomic data (broadly
defined).</p>
<p>The course is given by <strong>Associate Professor Michael
Cummings </strong>at the Institute for Advanced Computer
Studies, University of Maryland. Michael has published extensively
in molecular evolution, phylogenetics, computational biology and
bioinformatics, computer science, and bioinformatics education. He
has directed or co-directed the Workshop on Molecular Evolution
(given e.g. at Woods Hole, USA) and the Workshop on Comparative
Genomics (given e.g. in Český Krumlov, the Czech Republic).</p>
