Draft Program: Tuesday December 3
Evolutionary Biology
| 8:45-9:00 | Registration | ||||
| 9:00-10:00 | Dr Stéphane Guindon | Improved models of molecular evolution in statistical phylogenetics | |||
| 10:00-11:00 | Dr Sylvain Foret | Evolution of DNA Methylation | |||
| 11:00-11:30 | Break | ||||
| 11:30-12:30 | A/Prof Gavin Huttley | Extracting information from DNA sequences using models of sequence evolution | |||
| 12:30-13:30 | Lunch Break | ||||
| 13:30-15:30 | Computing Session | During the Evolutionary Biology workshop, you will learn how to prepare raw sequence data for phylogenetic analysis, including the processing of Next Generation Sequencing data, alignment, partitioning, model selection, etc. You will then learn how to use new software and models presented during the morning session (including Fitmodel and the PhyML package) to analyse the processed data in a phylogenetic context. | |||
