DESCRIPTION:The use of phylogenetic methods to reconstruct the evolutionary
  history of molecular sequences is a vital part of biological research. Th
 ese methods underpin studies on the evolution and epidemiology of plant an
 d animal parasites and disease-causing organisms\, and more generally they
  allow an objective analysis of the patterns and processes generating biol
 ogical diversity. To carry out phylogenetic analysis properly\, it is nece
 ssary to have a good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the 
 key methods and approaches. This EMBO Practical Course has been designed t
 o provide the theoretical and practical skills needed to carry out state-o
 f-the-art phylogenetic analyses.\n\nThe past few years have seen have an e
 xplosion in new methods of analysis including the application of Bayesian 
 analysis methods\, the development of improved non-stationary models that 
 better represent the dynamics of sequence evolution\, the application of p
 opulation genetic theory to phylogenies through the use of multispecies co
 alescent\, and the development of methods for high-throughput genome-wide 
 analyses. This EMBO Practical Course has been designed to cater for these 
 newest methods and for understanding how they relate to the more tradition
 al methods. Our goal is to teach technical sophistication without losing s
 ight of the need for a critical attitude to data and analyses.
