Tiley Lab - Plant Evolution

Polyploidy across populations, species, and communities

Teaching

Teaching materials are typically hosted through GitHub in order to make them accessible to students and reusable for the scientific community. A new class, Plant Evolution, will be made available in Fall of 2026.

Classes

Evolutionary Genomics 2021

We focused on three modules:

  1. reference genome assembly
  2. population genomics
  3. comparative genomics Some material made it to GitHub but several of the example data files were only available on our local cluster at the time. I can provide the data files upon request but am thinking of ways to improve this going forward. The class can be accessed here.

Workshops

UK Botanic Garden 2023 Workshops Methodological Advances in Reticulate Evolution

Based on interest in the Botany workshop, it was determined that there was a need for more training in phylogenetic networks, with more content, delivered directly to botanists. A three-day workshop covering coalescent theory and phylogenetic network methods is being hosted by the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh on 8 to 10 November and 14 to 16 November 2024. The website and instructional materials are found here.

Botany 2023 Workshop Methodological Advances in Reticulate Evolution

A collaborative workshop on phylogenetic network estimation delivered over a full day at the Botany 2023 conference. The organization site is linked here to provide access to materials across instructors.

DBEV Phylogenomics Workshop 2022 Introduction to Phylogenomics

Three-day practical phylogenomics workshop hosted by the University of Antananarivo Department of Biology and Plant Ecology. Slides and labs will be accessible here.
