DESCRIPTION:Educators:\nTal Dagan (CAU)\n\nDate:\n20.05.2019\, 08:15 - 16:0
 0\n\nLocation:\nKiel\n\nContents/Learning goals:\nThe evolutionary history
  of genes or species is best studied and described by phylogenetic trees. 
 The accumulating sequence data enable the reconstruction of phylogenetic t
 rees for many diverse gene and species. A robust phylogeny is helpful in i
 dentifying phyletic groups as well as ancestral relations in the data and 
 lateral gene transfer. Notwithstanding phylogenetic reconstruction is sens
 itive to various biases in the analysis that originate in alignment and ph
 ylogenetic reconstruction artifacts. Students in the workshop will learn t
 o reconstruct multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic trees of focal 
 sequences. This includes a quantification of possible biases in the phylog
 enetic reconstruction and ways to counteract their influence on the result
 s. In addition\, the students will learn how to identify the root of phylo
 genetic trees and extract ancestral-descendent relations.\n\nThe workshop 
 is intended to address scientists from undergraduate to postdoc level and 
 does not expect previous experience in phylogenetics. Basic knowledge on h
 ow to work with Linux will be advantageous.\n\nPrerequisites:\nNone\n\nKey
 words:\nTree phylogeny\, gene homology\, rooting\, robustness\n\nTools:\nM
 AFFT\, Guidance\, PhyML\, IQTree\, MAD rooting\, FigTree.
