Reproducible data science for population genetics (RDPG02) https://www.prstatistics.com/course/reproducible-data-science-for- population-genetics-rdpg02/
This course is being delivered by Dr Thibaut Jombart and Dr Zhian Kamvar (authors of the Adgenet package which will focus heavily in the course) from the 11th - 15th February 2019 in Glasgow City Centre Course Overview: With the increasing availability of various types of genetic and genomic data, population genetics and molecular ecology are becoming largely data driven sciences. Understanding the evolutionary, demographic, and ecological underpinning the genetic makeup of natural populations now relies on a combination of exploratory approaches and models. This course will provide an in-depth introduction to these techniques, with a strong emphasis on reproducibility though the use of modern analytic practices and tools. After an introduction to phylogenetic reconstruction, the course will cover a number of multivariate approaches for the analysis of genetic patterns, including supervised and unsupervised factorial methods, clustering approaches, and advanced methods for describing population diversity and revealing spatial genetic patterns. The approaches introduced will be applicable to most genetic data, including markers such as microsatellites, SNPs, or AFLP, as well as nucleotide and amino-acid sequence data. Every day will start with a lecture dedicated to a type of problem and methods, followed by an introduction to a specific technique for reproducible data analysis; afternoon will be devoted to hands on praticals. The last day will be devoted to open problems, where participants will be able to analyse their own data. Intended Audience The course is aimed at PhD students, research postgraduates, and practicing academics as well as persons in industry working with genetic data in fields such as molecular ecology, evolutionary biology, and phylogenetics.
