Sequencing

…extraction, library preparation and sequencing choices. Hands-on work covers preprocessing, mapping and reference bias, authentication and damage, low-coverage genotype approaches, ancestry estimation, phylogenomic analysis and admixture statistics. The programme connects these methods to evolutionary and archaeological questions while examining ethical responsibilities and limits of inference from degraded material. Live sessions: 21, 22, 25

…extraction, library preparation and sequencing, then mapping, damage, contamination and coverage biases. Analyses of population structure, relatedness, diversity and demographic history lead into temporal studies of adaptation, genetic erosion and genetic load. Case studies connect museum specimens with molecular ecology and conservation decisions. 2027-02-08–2027-02-12, 09:00–14:00 daily, Europe/Berlin (CET, UTC+01:00). Online course; fee €530. Basic evolutionary-genomics

…researchers together across sequencing, imaging and structural biology. Topics include foundation models, cross-modality learning, causal explanation, mechanistic interpretability, generative models and AI agents. Onsite workshops and tutorials take place on the first day; the following three days offer hybrid talks and posters. Registration is not yet open; the official page accepts expressions of interest.

…genomic DNA and preparing samples for sequencing. The student collaborates with research scientists on experimental design, data interpretation and presentations. The position is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

…methods include evolutionary analysis, sequencing, AI and experiments on microorganisms that are difficult to culture.

…applying artificial intelligence to sequencing, imaging and structural biology. Programme themes included foundation models, learning across data types, interpretability, generative modelling and translating algorithms into biological insight.
