Dear colleagues, Transmitting Science is offering the 6-day full course "Bayesian phylogenetic inference with BEAST2".
if you want to master BEAST2 this is your chance: https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/evolution/bayesian-phylogenetic-inference-with-beast2/ Online live sessions on October 27th, 29th, and 31st & November 3rd, 5th, and 7th, 2025. 35 hours (21 hours of online live lessons, plus 14 hours of participants working independently with tutored exercises) Instructors: Dr. Joëlle Barido-Sottani [1] (Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris, France) and Dr. Bethany Allen [2] (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) Course Overview: Bayesian phylogenetic inference is a powerful tool for reconstructing phylogenies while accounting for complex evolutionary dynamics. It allows prior knowledge to be integrated into the inference, and also provides a detailed picture of the uncertainty present in the dataset. However, the number and complexity of the available models and options can be daunting for users, and can make it difficult to apply inference tools effectively in practice. In this workshop, participants will learn the theoretical concepts underlying the different models involved in Bayesian phylogenetic inference and get hands-on experience using these models in BEAST2. Particular attention will be given to more complex tree models, such as the fossilized birth-death model used to integrate past information into phylogenies, as well as rate-heterogeneous models, which allow for variations in evolutionary dynamics across clades. Finally, the course will give practical information on setting up and troubleshooting analyses in BEAST2. Do not hesitate to contact me or write to [email protected] if you have any questions.
