Aims and Scopes

We offer a 3-day workshop on the population genomic analysis of DNA sequencing data. The workshop is intended for advanced master students, Ph.D. students or postdocs with little background in population genetics. It consists of a mix of lectures and hands-on data analysis using publicly available programs and R packages. For more detailed information on the workshop, contact Karl Schmid at karl.schmid@uni-hohenheim.de.
