This workshop is a short but intense introduction to the practical application of a variety of phylogenetic methods. Our goal is to help students, staff or faculty get started or progress with the methods they need for their research.
Topics include:
1) How do I run the computer programs?
2) How do the analytical programs work?
3) Why choose one method of analysis and not another?
4) Should I believe this tree and this model of evolution? Will the reviewers believe it?
Format:
Course taught on demand, usually in alternate years.
