Biological and Computational Aspects of Phylogenetic Inference and Implications for the Evolution of Life on Earth
Seminar outline:
The
seminar is open to CS, Bioinformatics, and Biology students and the
main goal is for Biologists and Computer Scientists to learn to talk to
each other, i.e., improve their interdisciplinary skills.
Locality:
The
seminar will take place at the Museum of Paleontology in Munich,
Richard-Wagner-Str. 10, room 012. Course Time: Mondays from 16:00-18:00 and a
beer nearby after the course. The seminar starts at 16:15, i.e., c.t.!
Instructors:
Prof. Gert Wörheide
Dr. Alexandros Stamatakis
Participants:
Biology, Paleontology, and Bioinformatics PhD students/PostDocs
