Organizer: Ariel Novoplansky
The workshop featured a
lecture series by Fyodor Kondrashov, Section on Ecology,
Behavior and Evolution, Division of Biological Sciences,
Evolutionary and Ecological Genomics
as well as presentations
by other participants.
The workshop dwelled on evolutionary aspects of genomics that are, or soon will be, relevant to ecological studies.
A.
Lectures
1. Studying selection at the molecular level (4 hours):
2. The role of gene duplication in Evolution of genomes and ecological adaptations (3 hours).
Theoretical expectations of selection pressure changes due do gene duplications
Examples of adaptive gene duplications to changes in the environment
3. Gene expression analysis in ecology (2 hours)
How many and what kinds of genes change their expression when the environmental conditions vary
4. "Environmental sequencing” (2 hours).
A review of successful and failed projects of environmental sequencing
What environmental conditions to consider when choosing what to sequence
5. Genomics and recent speciation (2 hours).
Using genomics tools to study recent speciation events
B.
Practical
Getting familiar with hashes, subroutines and the matching operator
Running programs but focusing on their integration in Perl
How and where to choose the data you need, and what is available
The practical sessions will be held throughout the workshop. The goal is that participants will be able to independently carry out genome-wide studies using publicly-available sequence and expression databases.
