Dear all, registration is open for the Physalia upcoming online course: Sex Chromosome Evolution
Dates: 6–10 October (11:00–16:00 Berlin time)
Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/sexchr/
This course will introduce attendees to how genomic and transcriptomic data can be used to detect sex chromosomes and inform the cause and consequences of sex chromosome differentiation. We will guide attendees through study design, genomic/transcriptomic data collection methods, handling of raw genomic/transcriptomic data, and methods to identify sex chromosomes. Then, we will work through a suite of analyses looking at the molecular evolution of sex chromosomes, particularly the timing and patterns of recombination suppression, gene gain/loss, gene expression differentiation, and genome divergence. We will also provide background on different types of sex chromosomes and sex determination systems, and hands-on exercises, running analyses, and interpreting results.
After completing the course, the participants should be able to manipulate, visualize, and interpret genomic data and patterns of sex chromosome evolution.
