[Coral-List] summer ecological genomics workshops in FL Keys

[Mikhail Matz]

Dear colleagues -

Are any of you interested in learning RNAseq, 2b-RAD, qPCR or meta-barcoding in the beautiful Florida Keys this summer?

Back by popular demand, we are pleased to announce that in June-July 2014 we will teach a series of week-long workshops on Methods in Ecological and Evolutionary Genomics at the Mote Tropical Research Laboratory, Florida Keys. We sending out a survey to determine which courses will gather the most interest since we can only offer three (~1 week long) courses.

1. tag-based RNA-seq
2. 2b-RAD
3. quantitative PCR
4. Meta-barcoding with amplicon sequencing

If you are interested in participating in these workshops, please respond to this survey

See the links below for examples of manuscripts produced from previous workshops, with workshop participants as co-authors:

Keep in mind that each workshop will be roughly $1,500 (depends on reagents, to be finalized), which includes accommodation but not  food and transportation. 

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions. Best regards,
