BIOR93 Applied Bioinformatics - Phylogenetics Module

Teachers Jadranka Rota and Etka Yapar

Introduction

In this course we will learn in practice how to download data from GenBank, create a multigene dataset, analyse the dataset using maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods, as well as multispecies coalescent methods, and how to manipulate trees for publication.

Index

Here we will upload all the files and information shared during the lectures!

Here you will find the files we create during the course. (If at some point you are at a loss because your attempts to produce the results for the next step failed, here you can find the files you will need so you can keep up with the class.)

Here are deposited the instructions for the assignments and exercises.

(1) Learn to generate datasets

(2) Align the gene markers

(3) Select the best evolutionary model and partitioning scheme

(4) Maximum likelihood methods

(5) Bayesian methods

(6) Gene tree/species tree analysis

(7) Tree manipulation

(8) Assignment
