Subject: [Ltkhkunta] Workshop on Evolutionary Genomics, November 15-16 in Oulu
Dear all,
Please see below information of the
Workshop on Evolutionary Genomics, which is arranged in Oulu in November 15-16.
The program is also available
here.
--------
Workshop in Evolutionary Genomics
Time November 15-16, 2012
Place Linnanmaa Campus, University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland
Credits
1.0 ECTS credit – presence at lectures and discussion, active preparation by careful reading of papers
Organizers Department of Biology, Biocenter Oulu Doctoral Programme and Population
Genetics Doctoral Program
Information
Outi Savolainen (outi.savolainen@oulu.fi), Päivi Leinonen (paivi.h.leinonen@oulu.fi),
Heidi Aisala (heidi.aisala@oulu.fi)
Registration
Students wishing to sign up for the course (for credits) should register by contacting Päivi Leinonen (paivi.h.leinonen@oulu.fi) before November 5, 2012. Others
are welcome to attend the lectures.
The goal of this course is to provide students with a broad introduction to topics in evolutionary genomics in very different animal and plant systems. The areas include
studies of comparative study of whole genomes, population genetics with whole genome data, bioinformatics tools and using SNP data for population genetics. The speakers will highlight the most important methods used. These methods find applications in population
genetics, molecular evolution and genetics studies of disease.

Each speaker gives a talk with broad introduction and then describes example of their research. Each speaker conducts a discussion section with the students. For this
the students prepare by reading assigned papers (by the speakers, in total 6-10 papers) and take active part in the discussion. The number of students included in discussion is limited.
