NEOF - Population Genomics
Date: 11 - 13 March 2025
Timezone: London
Language of instruction: English
This course will introduce participants to a variety of population genomics analyses for large next generation sequencing (NGS) datasets. It will include discussion on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) calling and filtering options, an introduction to population genomics statistics, examining genetic structure, and Fst-based analyses such as outlier detection/genomic islands of divergence.
Places are restricted to UK-based researchers and only 30 places are available so please only register if you intend on attending.
The workshop will be held over two days on Tuesday 11th and Thursday 13th March 2025, 10am-4pm, with registration opening 9.30am on Tuesday.
The deadline to register is Monday 24/2 noon, 2 weeks before the course. You will hear later that week whether you have been invited and will need to confirm your attendance.
