[SocBiN] Course in Study design in phylogenomics 5-9 May

[Dag Ahren]

Hi,
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 
*no hands on computer labs*, 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.

Please pass this on to anyone you think may be interested in 
participating in this course!

*Course outline: *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).

The course is given by *Associate Professor Michael Cummings *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 C(eský Krumlov, the Czech Republic).
