R is currently perhaps the most powerful and widely used tool for calculations of all kinds. A wide range of modules for working with molecular data is also available. A representative selection of these modules is the focus of this course.
Don't be afraid of the command line! It is a friendly and powerful tool, allowing you to process large data and automate tasks. Practically identical is command line also in Apple macOS, BSD and other UNIX-based systems, not only in Linux. The course is designed for total beginners as well as intermediate advanced students. The only requirement is an interest (or need) to work in command line, typically on Linux computing servers.
Practical course of phylogenomic methods focused on Hyb-Seq NGS method. The Hyb-Seq method combines target enrichment and genome skimming of the genome. The course covers the theory, discussion of the newest papers from the field, probe design, laboratory and computer part. Several methodological approaches to data analysis, from raw data to species tree analysis, are demonstrated within the course. The lab part includes NGS library preparation (using sonicator) and enrichment.
To investigate the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms driving biodiversity in the Indo-Malayan hotspots, with a particular focus on the roles of ancient hybridisation and historical climate in shaping species diversity.
Location
The Indo-Malayan realm, particularly the Western Ghats-Sri Lanka and Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspots.
Time Period
The Miocene Climatic Optimum (~14 million years ago) to these days.
Anastatica hierochuntica L., the True Rose of Jericho, is a monotypic genus endemic to the Saharo-Arabian deserts. This annual plant is an extremophyte, exhibiting exceptional tolerance to drought, high salinity, and intense solar radiation. It has evolved a unique hygrochastic seed dispersal mechanism, forming persistent aboveground seed banks that enable rapid germination following rare rainfall events.
R is nowadays probably the most powerful tool for calculations of all kinds. There are plenty of modules available for work with molecular data. Their representative selection will be introduced during the course.
The course contains theory of used methods, tutorials with test data, tasks for individual work of participants, and more. The aim is to teach students how to analyze molecular data in R programming language, introduce available packages for their analysis and practical trying out to work with own or provided data.
