Orthology-focused arthropod comparative genomics (Comparative Genomics 2/3)
Channel: SIB - Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics
Date: 27/10/2020

The video was recorded live during the course “Comparative Genomics” streamed on 16-18 September 2020.


The aims of this course were to (i) explore key evolutionary concepts, (ii) examine different methodological approaches, and (iii) gain hands-on experience in eukaryotic comparative genomic analyses. It has focused on concepts and methods for orthology and paralogy of protein-coding genes, complemented with practical examples of applications of comparative genomics approaches to investigate biological and/or evolutionary questions. 


Target audience: PhD students, postdoctoral and other researchers in the life sciences who are planning how to proceed with comparative genomics analyses to investigate biological or evolutionary questions of importance to their study system.


Speaker: Robert Waterhouse, Professor at the University of Lausanne and SIB Group Leader.
