The Tartu Summer school on Evolution, Genomics and Medicine 2022\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

28.11 \u2013 09.12.2022<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is the second\u00a0edition\u00a0of a series of annual international summer schools<\/strong> that brings together evolution, genetics and medicine.<\/p>\n

The school is organised by the cGEM group at the Institute of Genomics, University of Tartu, Estonia within the frames of H2020 grant cGEM.<\/p>\n

Programme<\/h3>\n

The course is focussed on methods and resources for identifying the present-day consequences of past natural selection for phenotypic variation and susceptibility to disease, and will cover advanced methods for inferring evolutionary histories from genomics data and linking them to large-scale genomic and functional datasets. Lectures introducing theoretical concepts and methods will be combined with workshops designed to give hands-on experience.<\/p>\n

Anders Eriksson<\/strong>: Evolutionary theory of complex traits<\/p>\n

Karoline Kuchenbaeker<\/strong> (U. College London, UK): Trans-ethnic GWAS of complex traits<\/p>\n

Vasili Pankratov<\/strong>: Tree-based based methods of evolutionary inference<\/p>\n

Danat Yermakovich<\/strong>: Introgression from archaic humans<\/p>\n

Mayukh Mondal<\/strong>: Deep learning methods for evolutionary inference<\/p>\n

T\u00f5nis Org<\/strong>: Epigenetics and cell-based functional assays<\/p>\n

Details<\/strong> of the schedule can be found <\/a>here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The school will be held online November 28 \u2013 December 9 <\/b>and will be free of charge.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Originally announced as a \u201cin person\u201d event to be held on 5-9.09.2022.\u00a0Due to huge international interest, the event was changed for online event)<\/p>\n

Application<\/h3>\n

The course is aimed at PhD students of mathematics and bioinformatics with an interest in evolution. We also welcome students from biological and medical backgrounds with sufficient background in computational analysis, advanced undergraduates, and postdocs.<\/p>\n

Applications are to be sent by email to <\/strong>anders.eriksson@ut.ee<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
