Student background / expectations
The course is aimed at graduate students and early-career researchers interested in applying novel DNA-based methods to macroecological questions. The course focuses on bioinformatic and analytical methods, and participants are expected to have a working knowledge of R for linear parametric statistics and basic community data analysis. Some prior experience with the linux command line is also preferred, although pre-course online study materials will be available to all attendees to ensure a common starting point. An understanding of phylogenetics would be useful to get the most of out of some sessions.
