Question

[Physalia-courses]

Dear all,

There are the last few seats available for the next edition of the online Physalia course "Sex Chromosome Evolution"

Dates: January, 23rd-27th

---

Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/sexchr/

---

Instructors: Dr. Aline Muyle (CNRS, France) and Dr. Agnieszka Lipinska (Max Planck Institute, Germany)

---

This course will introduce attendees to how genomic and transcriptomic data can be used to detect homomorphic/heteromorphic sex chromosomes and inform the cause and consequences of sex chromosome differentiation.

---

The instructors will guide students through study design, genomic/transcriptomic data collection methods, handling of raw genomic/transcriptomic data, and methods to identify sex chromosomes. Then, we will work through a suite of analyses looking at the molecular evolution of sex chromosomes, particularly the timing and patterns of recombination suppression, gene gain/loss, gene expression differentiation, and genome divergence. We will provide background on the theory and hands-on exercises, running analysis, and interpreting results.

After completing the course, the participants should be able to manipulate, visualize and interpret genomic data and patterns of sex chromosome evolution.
