Emphasis will be on interpretation of output from recent novel statistical approaches and software programs. The course also will allow daily discussions among young researchers and top-researchers to help develop the next generation of conservation geneticists, and to identify developments needed to improve data analysis approaches. This course will mainly cover analysis of allele frequency data (not DNA sequence data), including coalescent, Bayesian, approximate Bayesian, and likelihood-based approaches. * * *Who should apply:* Ph.D. students, post-docs, and population biologists with a background of at least one semester university-level course in population genetics and a course in population ecology. Applicants must have a basic background in population genetic data analysis, including testing for Hardy-Weinberg proportions and gametic disequilibrium. Participation will be limited to 25 people allowing efficient instruction with hands-on computer exercises during the course. Priority will be given to persons with their own data to analyze (for example graduate students near the end of their degree program). * * *Course/Workshop Format:* For each subject, we provide 30-45 minutes of background, theory, discussion and introduction to concepts. Immediately following, we will conduct data analyses together for 30-45 minutes using relevant software programs and real data sets. Evening hands-on computer sessions and housing together of instructors and students in the same location will allow for extensive exchange and facilitate learning. *Instructors/Speakers:* Fred Allendorf, Mark Beaumont, Peter Beerli, Albano Beja-Pereira, Daniel Falush, Adam Jones, Gordon Luikart, Karen Martien, Mark Miller, Scott Mills, Mike Schwartz, David Tallmon, and Robin Waples. * * *Location: *The course will be held in the facilities at CIBIO (Center for Investigation of Biodiversity and Genetic Resources; http://cibio.up.pt/ ) on the Campus for Agricultural Sciences in the rural village of Vairão, just north of Porto, and a few kilometres from the Atlantic coast and the airport. Vairão is an ancient village whose origins can be traced back to the Roman Period (the Roman village Valeriani). *Registration and cost:* For detailed information see http:\\cibio.fc.up.pt\congen (webpage will be available on 30 April; in the meantime for enquiries contact albanobp(a)mail.icav.up.pt <mailto:albanobp@mail.icav.up.pt> or gordon.luikart(a)mso.umt.edu).

As a novelty and in an attempt of extending the possibility of knowing the work of these groups by all the attendees selected works will be delivered as 10 min short-report presentations November is one of the most beautiful months in Cuba. We wish to achieve a perfect mix of art and science, research, culture, and paradisiacal beach. We sincerely hope you will be part of the challenge. We look forward to see you in Cuba in 2006 for what we expect to be a stimulating and exciting meeting. Yours sincerely, Lidia Ines Novoa and Annia Ferrer Organizing Committee Scope Genomics 2006 follows the tradition of the CIGB International Workshops on Genomic Research and comprises this year two important workshops: the 3rd Workshop on Genomic Reseach and the 1st Cuban Workshop on Genomics. The 1st Cuban Workshop on Genomics is an International Workshop, organized and sponsored by the INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR GENETIC ENGINEERING (ICGEB), Trieste, Italy an international organization dedicated to advanced research and training in molecular biology and biotechnology, with special regard to the needs of the developing world. The 3rd International Workshop on Genomic Reseach is organized this year as a Satellite Meeting for the International Congress Biotechnology Havana 2006 . Genomics 2006 is organized to review the state of the art on Genetics and Genomic of Complex Traits (High Blood Pressure, Schizophrenia, Autoimmune Diseases), Study Design for Complex Traits, HLA typing and Disease Association, SNPs, Haplotyping and Pharmacogenomics, Databases, Bioinformatics and Statistical Analysis. Genomics 2006 is aimed to teach the participants both theoretical basis and practical applications of genomic research, genetics and molecular biology methods. The main goal is to stimulate basic research in these fields in Central and South American and the Caribbean countries. The workshop also intends to encourage the development of local and regional laboratories where different human samples will be collected and analysed for genomic and genetic studies. The workshop has been planned as an international forum for scientific exchange on all major areas of genomics and human genetics, with an opportunity for each of the participants to exchange views on the present state of knowledge, the emergence of new concepts and the development of innovative techniques relevant to regional problems. Genomics 2006 will include a series of lectures, a range of tutorials and a practical course embodying cutting-edge technology. The workshop is intended for students and researchers with limited experience in using different tools for genomic research and bioinformatics methods. Main Topics Lecture topics have been selected that have an emphasis on genomics appropriate to the region. These will include: 1. Human population genetic structure/substructure, founder effect, drift, endogamy, consanguinity 2. Immunogenetics, HLA Typing and Disease Association 3. Genetic and Genomic of Complex Traits 4. Statistical Methods for Population Genetic and Genomic 5. Genetic Admixture methodology and application to complex diseases 6. Pharmacogenomics 7. Cancer genetics 8. Genetic predisposition to disease (hypertension, diabetes, Schizophrenia, etc) 9. Molecular cytogenetics 10. Single gene defects, especially the haemoglobinpathies/ thalassaemias 11.

Hi, Mastercycler is back from service: the block has been changed and it should be OK now. The reservation list from the temporary machine in PT310 has been moved to PT305 so that all the reservations made before will still be valid. PTC block B is still out of order, but will be fixed within a month or so when the new block arrives.

laitetoivomukset
by Helmi Kuittinen 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Hei, muutaman päivän sisällä pitäisi saada aikaan genetiikan osalta laitetoivomuslista. Viime vuodelta on jäänyt saamatta rahaa autoklaaviin ja jäähilekoneeseen. Nämä voisivat olla yhä listalla. Lisäksi ehdottaisin että uusi gradientti-PCR-laite (Master-Cycler?) laitettaisiin listalle vaikkapa ykköseksi. Jos teillä on muita ehdotuksia tai mietteitä, tavataan keskiviikkona klo 11.45 genetiikan kahvihuoneessa. Jos ehdotatte laitetta, olisi hyvä saada myös sen hinta-arvio. terveisin, Helmi Helmi Kuittinen Oulun yliopisto University of Oulu Biologian laitos Department of Biology PL 3000 P.O.Box 3000, 90014 University of Oulu 90014 Oulun yliopisto Finland email: Helmi.Kuittinen(a)oulu.fi tel. 358-(0)8-553 1803 fax 358-(0)8-553 1061
