DESCRIPTION:Study methods in population genomics have been profoundly resha
 ped in the last few years\, fostered by a rapid growth of DNA sequence pro
 duction and sharing. This unprecedented opportunity guided major steps for
 ward in the field and calls for new approaches and computational skills to
  become routine in evolutionary genomics laboratories.\n\nThe objectives o
 f this EMBO Practical Course are to give an overview of the state of the a
 rt methods in population genomics\, including programming\, and to enable 
 participants to run their project’s analyses with high confidence. The c
 ourse combines lectures from outstanding experienced population geneticist
 s with practice\, both at individual and group level. All conceptual innov
 ation will be presented in lectures and applied in practice.\n\nThis EMBO 
 Practical Course will cover coalescent\, genetic diversity\, natural selec
 tion\, population demography in time and space\, admixture\, genetic clust
 ering\, and genome-wide association studies. Population genetics topics wi
 ll be complemented by computational ones such as Python programming and ma
 chine learning techniques.\n\nThis course aims at evolutionary biologists 
 who already have basic bioinformatics skills. Ph.D. students and Postdoc r
 esearchers will benefit the most out of this course\, but applications fro
 m all candidates will be evaluated in their context.
