We've been fortunate to glean insights about the intricacies of #Phylogenomics from this stellar team of instructors Paschalia Kapli Tomas Flouri Mario dos Reis 🇻🇪🇵🇹🇬🇧 Sandra Álvarez & Ziheng Yang's Group
Big thanks to the diverse and international group of attendees for joining us this week.

Our paper on the direction of introgression is now published: doi.org/10.1093/molbev…. If one assumes gene flow in the wrong/opposite direction in analysis of genomic data, one may get significant signal in the test with an even higher rate than the true rate.

We have a postdoc position at UCL to work on computational phylogenomics in collaboration with

AA vs DNA 1:1 #DeepPhylogenomics

Our protocol for positive selection analyses using PAML has been published today! 🙌 You can read Sandra's thread below, which summarises the content of our protocol and the computational resources available in our complementary GitHub repository:

Do not miss the chance to join us at the Phylogenomics Physalia course this December! 🧬💻 First come, first served!

Evolutionary Analysis Using PAML!
 
We're pleased to be hosting a workshop University of Sydney today, led by Sandra Álvarez and Ziheng Yang's Group.
 
Researchers from Sydney Uni Life&Env, AMRI, Sydney Travel, and ourANU are learning about testing for selection and phylogenomic dating.

Joint lab dinner before the holidays!!❄️

Our new paper 'Complexity of the simplest species tree problem' is now published. Many years in the making. One of the messages is that there is more information in two genes each of 300 sites than in 600 independent sites.
