##Overview This intensive course focuses on the genomics of environmental adaptation, providing participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. The curriculum includes hands-on exercises in R, covering essential topics such as genomic markers, next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques, outlier analysis, and genotype-environment associations (GEA).
The tentative agenda is structured over five days:
- Day 1: Introduction to genomic markers and NGS techniques, along with discussions on selection, genetic diversity, and population structure.
- Day 2: Focus on outlier analysis.
- Day 3: Exploration of environmental data and GEA.
- Day 4: Continued study of GEA and genomic offset.
- Day 5: Introduction to genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and follow-up analyses.
Participants are required to have prior knowledge of R. The course is free of charge, with limited accommodation options available for attendees. Applications are open until December 1, 2026, with priority given to ETH students and Evoltree members. Interested individuals must submit a brief motivation letter to apply.
