General Information
Run biennially at the Wellcome Genome Campus, this hands-on computational course aims to provide early-career stage researchers with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to carry out molecular evolutionary analyses on sequence data.
In addition, the course will offer a unique opportunity for direct interaction with some of the world-leading scientists and authors of famous analysis tools in Evolutionary Bioinformatics.
The demand for such training is large and growing, as are the sequence databases and researchers’ awareness of the important insights that can be gained from phylogenetic and molecular evolutionary techniques.
