As the focus of the course is on hands-on work\, the topics have been designed to cover the fundamental analyses that are common in many population genomics studies. The course consists of lectures and exercises\, with a focus on the practical aspects of analyses. Whereas lectures introduce some background theory\, their primary aim is to set the stage for accompanying exercises. \n\n\n\nTopics covered will include: \n\n\n\n\nFoundations of population genetics\n\n\n\nIntroduction to simulation and the coalescent\n\n\n\nBasics of variant calling\n\n\n\nVariant filtering and sequence masks\n\n\n\nCharacterization and interpretation of DNA sequence variation\n\n\n\nCalculation and interpretation of summary statistics from variation data\n\n\n\nInvestigating population structure with admixture modeling and principal component analyses\n\n\n\nDemographic modeling using sequentially Markovian coalescent models and linkage disequilibrium\n\n\n\nSelection scans\n\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\n\n\nUpon completion of this course\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe the different forces of evolution and how they influence genetic variation\n\n\n\nUnderstand and interpret genealogical trees and how they relate to genetic variation data\n\n\n\nDescribe the basics of the coalescent\,\n\n\n\nPerform simple coalescent simulations with msprime\n\n\n\nRun simple SLiM forward simulation models\n\n\n\nDescribe and run the steps of a variant calling pipeline\, including quality control of raw reads\, read mapping\, and variant calling\n\n\n\nKnow how and when to filter raw variant calls using manual coverage filters\n\n\n\nDescribe and calculate nucleotide diversity from variation data\n\n\n\nAnalyze population structure with admixture modeling and dimensionality reduction methods\n\n\n\nPerform demographic modeling with sequential Markovian coalescent models\n\n\n\nDescribe methods that identify regions undergoing adaptation and selection\n\n\n\nRun selection scans\, score identified regions\, and interpret findings in the context of genome annotations\n\n\n\n\nThe latest information about the course can be found on \n\n\n\nhttps://uppsala.instructure.com/courses/105981 \n\n\n\nEntry requirements\n\n\n\nThe following is a list of skills required to be able to follow the course and complete the exercises: \n\n\n\n\nBasic knowledge of R or Python\n\n\n\nBasic knowledge of variant calling\, or the equivalent of the NBIS course “Introduction to Bioinformatics using NGS data”\n\n\n\nBasic knowledge of population genetics\n\n\n\nBasic understanding of frequentist statistics\n\n\n\nA computer\n\n\n\n\nDesirable\, but not essential\, skills increasing the output of the course\, include: \n\n\n\n\nExperience with analysis of NGS and other –omics data\n\n\n\n\nDue to limited space\, the course can accommodate a maximum of 25 participants. If we receive more applications\, participants will be selected based on selection criteria\, including (but not limited to) correct entry requirements\, motivation to attend the course\, as well as gender and geographical balance.

SUMMARY:Integrated Structural Biology course\, 3rd edition
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the 3rd edition of the Integrated Structural Biology course\, organized by SciLifeLab and NordStruct. The course will take place over two weeks across Stockholm\, Linköping\, Lund\, and Gothenburg. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the course\, you will be introduced to a wide range of structural biology techniques available at research infrastructures in Sweden. The program combines lectures\, site visits\, and hands-on discussions\, offering opportunities for in-depth learning\, networking\, and project-specific discussions with experts. \n\n\n\nIn addition to the scientific program\, the course includes social activities such as dinners and informal gatherings\, providing further opportunities to connect with fellow participants and instructors. \n\n\n\nThe course will cover: \n\n\n\n\nCryo-EM\n\n\n\nNMR\n\n\n\nStructural proteomics\n\n\n\nCrystallography\n\n\n\nSAXS/SANS\n\n\n\nBiophysical characterization\n\n\n\nComputational aspects\, including AlphaFold\n\n\n\nProtein production\n\n\n\n\nThe program also includes student presentations and visits to key research infrastructures. \n\n\n\nPractical details\n\n\n\nThe course begins with three days in Stockholm\, followed by two days in Linköping to complete the first week. The second week starts in Lund and concludes with two days in Gothenburg. \n\n\n\nThe course fee is 7\,000 SEK and includes accommodation (four nights per week)\, lunches\, coffee breaks (fika)\, and organized travel between sites. Accommodation and local logistics will be arranged by the organizers. \n\n\n\nParticipants are expected to arrange their own travel to and from the course locations as follows: \n\n\n\n\nArrival in Stockholm on August 17 (no later than 10:00)\n\n\n\nDeparture from Linköping on August 21\n\n\n\nArrival in Lund on August 24 (before approximately 10:00–11:00)\n\n\n\nFinal departure from Gothenburg on August 28\n\n\n\n\nApplication\n\n\n\n\nApply for the course here\n\n\n\n\nPlease note that the final application deadline is June 30.

Participants will be assigned to groups and informed of their selected paper in advance. \n\n\n\nBefore the workshop\, participants will answer guiding questions about their paper. During the session\, groups will discuss their answers and develop collective responses\, integrating insights from the morning lectures. Editors will circulate between groups to provide feedback and answer questions. The session concludes with short presentations\, where each group shares their key conclusions. \n\n\n\nPlease note: Pre-workshop preparation is required for all participants. \n\n\n\nThe selected preprints should fall under one of the following categories: \n\n\n\n\nCell and Molecular Biology\n\n\n\nGenomics\, Proteomics and Systems Biology Approaches  \n\n\n\nEcology and Environment  \n\n\n\nMolecular Medicine\n\n\n\n\n\nPractical Details\n\n\n\nThe workshop is devided into two sessions: \n\n\n\n\nMorning session (Hybrid) – A Zoom link will be provided to online participants one day before the workshop\n\n\n\nAfternoon Session (On-site) – Focused on preprints within life science topics \n\n\n\n\nParticipation Guidelines\n\n\n\n\nPhD students and postdocs in life sciences will be prioritized for the on-site session.\n\n\n\nPre-workshop preparation is required for all on-site participants.\n\n\n\nEveryone is welcome to join online.\n\n\n\nOn-site participation includes lunch and coffee breaks with the Science Editors.\n\n\n\n\nOn-site participation is limited to 40 spots!\n\n\n\nParticipants for the on-site workshop will be selected after the application deadline based on: \n\n\n\n\nAffiliation (to ensure a fair distribution across research groups).\n\n\n\nFirst come\, first served basis.\n\n\n\n\nDeadline for on-site application: August 7  \n\n\n\nDeadline for online registration: September 3 \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n
