CourseDetails
โข Introduction to Phylogenetic Modeling: Basic concepts, tree thinking, types of phylogenetic trees, and the importance of phylogenetic models.
โข Data Types and Formats: DNA, RNA, protein and morphological data, sequence alignment, and data formatting for phylogenetic analysis.
โข Phylogenetic Tree Reconstruction Methods: Distance-based, parsimony, and likelihood methods, with examples from commonly used software like MEGA, PAUP*, and RAxML.
โข Model Selection and Evaluation: Model testing, bootstrapping, and other methods to assess the reliability and accuracy of phylogenetic trees.
โข Bayesian Inference in Phylogenetics: Overview of Bayesian theory, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, and Bayesian phylogenetic software like MrBayes and BEAST.
โข Comparative Methods: Phylogenetic comparative methods for trait evolution analysis, including independent contrasts, phylogenetic regression, and ancestral state estimation.
โข Divergence Time Estimation: Molecular clock, relaxed clock models, and fossil calibration for dating divergence times in phylogenetic trees.
โข Network Phylogenetics: Phylogenetic networks, reticulate evolution, and applications in hybridization, recombination, and lateral gene transfer.
โข Big Data and High-Performance Computing: Handling large datasets, parallel computing, and cloud computing for phylogenetic analysis.
