Workshops
@evomics.bsky.social
Our objective is to provide training in the fields of genomics, population genetics and phylogenomics.
The 2026 Workshop on Genomics comes to an end! It has been two intense and inspiring weeks of Genomics in Český Krumlov. We hope everyone is going back home with a renewed excitement for science and new friends and collaborations around the world! 🙆🏻♀️🧬 #evomics2026
Our closing lecture given by Nathan Clark, on Evolutionary Adaptation and Comparative Genomics 🌳🧬🙌🏽 #evomics2026
Last computer lab session of the workshop we are back in the Genomics Adventure, with Guy Leonard (@guyleonard.bsky.social)!! 🙌🏽💻🙆🏻♀️ #evomics2026
Rosa Fernández (@rosafernandez.bsky.social) introducing the field of Phylogenomics to our participants 🙌🏽🧬🌳💻 #evomics2026
Morning lecture by Maliheh Mehrshad (@mehrshmali.bsky.social) on metagenomics and metatranscriptomics! 🧪🧬🦠 #evomics2026
We ended the day on Wednesday with a computer lab session on gene expression analyses with Rachel Steward 💻📊 #evomics2026
Practical session in the House of Prelate on Comparative Genomics, led by Nathan Clark 🧬🌳💻 #evomics2026
Morning lecture on Single Cell Transcriptomics by Arnau Sebé-Pedrós (@arnausebe.bsky.social) in the Town Theatre of Český Krumlov! 🧫🧬💻 #evomics2026
This afternoon, we have Claire Mérot (@clairemerot.bsky.social) teaching structural variants with a computer lab, in the House of Prelate 🧬🙆🏻♀️ #evomics2026
Brian Haas (@brianjhaas.bsky.social) introducing transcriptomics to our participants today 🙆🏻♀️🧬 #evomics2026
For today's evening we have two parallel sessions! 🙆🏻♀️ On one side we have Introduction to R, with Miloš Duchoslav (@milosduchoslav.bsky.social) 💻📊 #evomics2026
We continue with an afternoon session on Using LLMs in Bioinformatics, by Scott Handley! What are LLMs? How can we use them to our advantage? But what things should we be aware of? He covers it all! 🤖💻🧬 #evomics2026
After one day of well-needed rest, we start the second week of the 2026 Workshop on Genomics with Evan Eichler, with a lecture on structural variants in the Town Theatre 🧬👤💻 #evomics2026
On Saturday afternoon we had a session led by Dag Ahrén (@dagahren.bsky.social) on Best Practices in Bioinformatics 💻📑 #evomics2026
This Saturday morning we have Chris Wheat (@chriswheat.bsky.social) on stage, with Lies, damn lies... and genomics! 📊📉⁉️ Can we trust the results we are generating? Always good to doubt yourself and be aware of your biases and possible errors 🧐
From theory to practice, we move on to the lab on Genome Annotation with Katharina Hoff (@katharinahoff.bsky.social) 👩🏻💻🙌🏽 #evomics2026
We continue the day in the Town Theatre with Genome Annotation, a lecture by Katharina Hoff (@katharinahoff.bsky.social) 🙌🏽🧬🙆🏻♀️ #evomics2026
Olga Vinnere Pettersson giving a lecture on everything one has to take into account when planning a sequencing project 🧪🧬🗒📦 #evomics2026
We finish the day with another practical session by Petr Daněček (@petrdanecek.bsky.social) on Variant Calling 🧬💻🙆🏻♀️ #evomics2026
Camilla Santos takes over after the genome assembly sessions, to cover Genome Assembly Curation, the session includes a live demo on how to manually curate a genome assembly 🧬💻🖱lots of cool Hi-C map plots! 📉 #evomics2026
Morning lecture by Marcela Uliano-Silva (@marcelauliano.bsky.social) on Wonders of Genome Assembly! How does a de novo genome sequencing project looks like? What are the steps to follow to get the best genome assembly possible? She covers it all! 🙆🏻♀️🧬💻 #evomics2026
We ended the day with a practical on genome assembly, with @camillemrcht.bsky.social and @npmalfoy.bsky.social in which participants can try different assemblers with different types of sequencing data! 🧬💻👩🏻💻 #evomics2026
A classic of the Workshop on Genomics, the Genome Assembly lecture by Camille Marchet (@camillemrcht.bsky.social) and Antoine Limasset (@npmalfoy.bsky.social), teaching us about overlapping sequences and genome assembly graphs 🧬💻 #evomics2026
We had an informal lunch session to discuss Alternative Career Paths to Academia! Very popular, with 45 participants joining 🙆🏻♀️ always good to have a plan B 😅 and understand your options! 🤗 #evomics2026
We end day 2 with an evening session by Petr Daněček (@petrdanecek.bsky.social) on Essential File Types in Genomics. Very important to understand the format and structure of the files we will analyse! 🙌🏽💻👀 #evomics2026
We continued with an Introduction to Unix, by Mercè Montoliu Nerin (@mmontonerin.bsky.social), to make sure all the participants get comfortable in the computer environment in which they will spend many hours in the coming days! 👩🏻💻 #evomics2026
First sessions in our computer lab location, the House or Prelate of Český Krumlov 🙆🏻♀️ Starting with an introduction to the AMIs, the cloud, and computing, by Guy Leonard (@guyleonard.bsky.social) ☁️💻 #evomics2026
