11-20 April 2011
Hinxton, Cambridge, UK

Deadline for applications: 26 November 2010
Course summary
This Wellcome Trust Advanced Course aims to provide researchers with the
theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to carry out molecular
evolutionary analysis on their own data, as well as on data drawn from
sequence databases. The course will combine basic assumptions and ideas
fundamental to the field with discussion of cutting-edge methodologies, and is
therefore relevant to researchers with a range of different experience levels.
This course is essentially the same as that which was run successfully in
Hinxton in 2009 and in Crete in 2010 (see http://abacus.gene.ucl.ac.uk/CoME).
