Mini-symposium on microbial evolutionary genomics
When: May 17-18, 2022
Where: 5 Bd Henri IV, 34090, Montpellier

Goals
Due to proliferation of new data generation technologies microbial biology has become a data driven science. Yet there is still a limited “mixing” between researchers studying biological questions and their computational colleagues. The goal of the mini-conference is to bring together representatives of two sides (“wet” and “dry”) and discover the ways in which they can be more aware of each other’s challenges and priorities. The unique combination of speakers will cover the following areas:
- Analysis of microbial communities
- Experimental evolution
- Phylogenetic reconstruction
- Analysis of recombination
- Analysis of selection
- Data logistics and analysis automation

Stéphanie Bedhomme & Anton Nekrutenko

May 18 | Microbial data analysis workshop
The workshop will focus on the application of sequencing data (Illumina, Oxford Nanopore, PacBio) to analysis of microbial communities, genome assembly, analysis of variation, and identification of sites under selection. It will be presented by:
Workshop will consist of two parts interrupted by a lunch break:
- Part 1: 9:00 - 12:00
- Part 2: 13:30 - 16:00
