WiSe 20/21: Phylogeny Inference and Application

Prabhav Kalaghatgi

Comments

Course content: The course is thematically divided into two parts: Inferring evolutionary relationships: Methods for inferring phylogenetic trees will be introduced using the following topics

Mechanisms of genome evolution
Combinatorial optimization problems in phylogenetic tree inference
Using minimum spanning trees to infer large phylogenetic trees
Methods for rooting phylogenetic trees
Limitations of phylogenetic trees, and alternate network-based models

Learning evolutionary dynamics using trees: Additionally, we will cover applications of phylogenetic trees such as

Time-calibrated trees using molecular clocks
Identifying genomic regions under selection
Inferring migration history
Virus epidemiology
Tumor heterogeneity

Prerequisites: The course is designed for bioinformaticians, and computer scientists interested in biology. Students will be using current software for their tutorials (Uebungen). Programming assignments are expected to be submitted as jupyter notebooks. A familiarity with python is helpful but not necessary as it will be covered in the initial tutorials. close
