Phylogenetic Cartography: Automating Genetic Database Searching and Spatial Analysis
December 15-17, 2025 | Face-to-face
This course is intended to provide students with theoretical background and practical experience on the spatial analysis of genetic data, with a main focus on the bioinformatic tools available to automatise the search, preparation, analysis, and representation of single marker data. Students will learn how to clean and curate data, access and handle DNA data from online repositories (e.g. GenBank), automate data queries and species identification and integrate them with spatial biodiversity databases (e.g. IUCN, GBIF). Automatized procedures will be conducted mainly in R and occasionally in python; preliminary knowledge on the former environment is recommended.
New application deadline: November 27, 2025
