Course - Woods Hole, MA, United States
The Workshop on Molecular Evolution at Woods Hole presents a series of lectures, discussions, and bioinformatic exercises that span contemporary topics in molecular evolution. Since its inception in 1988, the workshop has encouraged the exchange of ideas between leading theoreticians, software developers and workshop participants. The workshop serves graduate students, postdoctoral students and established faculty from around the world. The 2012 Workshop will use computer packages including AWTY, BEAST, BEST, Clustal W/X, FASTA, FigTree, GARLI, MIGRATE, LAMARC, MAFFT, MP-EST, MrBayes, PAML, PAUP*, PHYLIP, STEM, STEM-hy, and SeaView to address the topics:
Phylogenetic analysis: theoretical, mathematical and statistical bases; sampling properties of sequence data; Maximum likelihood theory and practice; Bayesian analysis; hypothesis testing
Population genetics analysis using coalescence theory; maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation of population genetic parameters
Databases and sequence matching: database searching: protein sequence versus protein structure; homology; mathematical, statistical, and theoretical aspects of sequence database searches; multiple alignment
Molecular evolution integrated at organism and higher levels: population biology; biogeography; ecology; systematics and conservation
Molecular evolution and development: gene duplication and divergence; gene family organization; coordinated expression in evolution
Comparative genomics: genome content; genome structure; genome evolution
Molecular evolution integrated at lower levels: biochemistry; cell biology; physiology; relationship of genotype to phenotype
Organization: MBL
