Selection criteria
This course is aimed at evolutionary biologists with basic bioinformatics skills.
Selection of participants will be based on:
- Solid background in evolutionary genetics, since the course is advanced;
- Good knowledge of Linux operating system, R and basic shell commands, Python knowledge is a plus;
- Lack of previous knowledge of the population genomics tools taught (we want you to learn new skills);
- Opportunity to apply the learning outcomes to their work soon after the course;
- Impact of the course for the participant and his/her research group (we discourage multiple applications from the same group);
- Submission of an abstract (mandatory).
Fulfillment of these conditions by participants will be assessed through the registration form.
It is mandatory that students attend the whole length of the course. Participants are expected to bring their own laptop; if not possible, this should be declared during registration.
