RegisterDescription
The CBA is hosting an intensive 4-day workshop on Population and Landscape Genomics that will combine talks with practical training by invited local and international experts.
Our main goal is to provide a broad and compressive introduction to analysis of signatures of natural selection and demographic processes using large genomic data sets.
Target audience: The workshop is aimed at students and researchers with previous experience in population genetics and currently using, or planning to use, genomic data to analyse population structure and selection. The workshop will have both a strong theoretical and practical component. Students will be able to analyse real data in all sessions, either provided by themselves or from the instructors.
Workshop program
Daily sessions will run from 8.30am-5.30pm:
- 8:30am: Theoretical lecture
- 10:30am: Morning tea break
- 11:00am: Practical session 1
- 12:30pm: Lunch break
- 2:00pm: Practical session 2
- 3:30pm: Afternoon tea break
- 4:00pm: Practical session 3
* on the first day (Tues) try to be there a bit earlier (by 8:15am at the latest) so we can register everyone and hand out documentation and campus maps.
You will need to bring your own laptop with the required software to the workshop.
Before the workshop commences we will contact you with the software downloads you will need to install prior to the workshop. We have put all the relevant information in a GoogleDrive folder. You can also find this information in the daily Program:
- Tues 25 March (ANU Commons): From raw NGS data to SNPs - Matteo Fumagalli, Univ. College London
- Wed 26 March (ANU Commons): Population structure and inference of demography - Anders Goncalves da Silva, Monash Univ.
- Thurs 27 March (University House): Selection scans and admixture analysis - Rose Andrew, UNE and Justin Borevitz, ANU
- Fri 28 March (ANU Commons): Landscape Genomics - Kevin Leempoel, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
There will be WIFI in the workshop rooms. ANU staff/students can use their own Uni ID number to log in or we can provide a guest log-in on the ANU network. But it is highly recommended that you come to the workshop with all the required downloads on your computer.
Location
ANU Commons Function Centre (Tues, Wed & Fri) and University House (Thurs).
A light morning tea and afternoon tea will be provided each day, but you will need to bring your own lunch or you can purchase it at various nearby cafes, etc. on the ANU campus.
Upcoming events in this series
A hands-on workshop to learn about unmethylated region (UMR)-sequencing.
An overview of the best practices for assembling repetitive parts of the genome, how to check assemblies and then curate and annotate the genome for transposable elements.
An exploratory workshop for researchers interested in generating and utilising historical datasets.
A hands-on workshop focused on the application of whole-genome population genomics to monitoring and managing invasive and endangered populations.
