[R-sig-phylo] Course Phylogenetic Analysis using R, March 6-10, Barcelona (Spain).
Dear Rrs users, This course might be of interest for some people in this list: PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS USING R - 4th edition, March 6th-10th, 2017. INSTRUCTORS: Dr. Emmanuel Paradis (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, France) and Dr. Klaus Schliep (University of Massachusetts, USA). More information: http://www.transmittingscience.org/courses/phylogeny/phylogenetic-analysis-using-r/ This course is for biologists dealing with the analysis of multiple molecular sequences at several levels: Populations, species, clades, communities. These biologists address questions relative to the evolutionary relationships among these sequences, as well as the evolutionary forces structuring biodiversity at different scales. The objectives are: (i) to learn the theorical bases phylogenetic analysis, (ii) to know how to choose a strategy of molecular data analysis at the inter‐ or intraspecific levels, (iii) to be able to initiate a phylogenetic analysis starting from the files of molecular sequences until the interpretation of the results and the graphics. The software used for this course will be center on the R language for statistics. This will include the use of specialized packages particularly ape, phangorn, and adegenet. Requeriments: Knowledge of multivariate statistics, phylogenetics and molecular evolution. User level of R.
