The Molecular evolution and phylogenetics is a 4-session module of the Introduction to Bioinformatics Training 2020 (IBT) organised by Pan African Bioinformatics Network for the Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3ABioNet) consortium. It is a blended learning course – mainly virtual: the trainer records videos and e-meets students at the end of each lesson for a question and answer session.
The Molecular evolution and phylogenetics is a 4 theoretical and 4 practical session module introducing molecular phylogenetics, its main concepts, problems and methods used in the filed: phylogenetic tree reconstruction with distance-based, maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood methods, probabilistic models of molecular evolution, molecular clock models, phylogenetic tree dating and phylogeography.
