Advanced Course in Phylogenomics and Population Genomics: Inference and Applications
Postgrade Course
Universitat de Barcelona
Facultad de Biología
imparted in English
https://www.ub.edu/certfem/ppgcourse/
The course is addressed to graduate and postgraduate researchers that need to learn how to handle HTS data to infer population history, phylogenetic relationships, estimate divergence times or many other applications of tree-based evolutionary methods.
Master in Bioinformatics
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
Facultat de Ciències
Bellaterra, Spain
Imparted in English
Bioinformatics is a research area where computer science, information technologies and statistical methods are applied to the processing of biological data. Post-genomic technologies are producing huge amounts of biological data, and bioinformatics the key science in the task to make sense of them. The current challenge of the bioscientist is to be able to easily handle all this information. Bioinformatics is a strategic science, which enjoys both short and long term projections, and whose importance can hardly be overestimated. In bioinformatics, the two main drivers of scientific and technological change of the last half century comes together: molecular biology and computer science. We are within an interdisciplinary activity, where both sciences mutually amplify the potential of new knowledge and technology transfer.
Máster en Mejora Genética Animal y Biotecnología de la Reproducción
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
Bellaterra, Catalonia, Spain
Imparted in Spanish
Los modelos ganaderos futuros deben fundamentarse en la sostenibilidad, en el marco de sistemas de producción competitivos y respetuosos con el bienestar de los animales.
La mejora genética animal no sólo contribuye a la sostenibilidad de las producciones e incrementa su rentabilidad, sino que permite a través de las nuevas tecnologías mejorar su eficiencia y adaptarlas a la demanda divergente de los consumidores. Así, la genética de poblaciones y cuantitativa, la genética molecular y la biotecnología reproductiva son actualmente materias básicas en el desarrollo de la ganadería. La genética de poblaciones ha sido responsable de los principales avances de las razas y poblaciones animales utilizadas en la producción, y la genética molecular, de más reciente desarrollo, está contribuyendo de forma creciente a la mejora. Finalmente, la biotecnología de la reproducción ofrece herramientas que potencian y facilitan la aplicación de los métodos de mejora tanto cuantitativos como moleculares.
