If anyone is interested in contributing or learning about nf-core pipelines, there is an upcoming Hackathon in march: https://nf-co.re/events/2021/hackathon-march-2021

You can use the time to write your own pipelines with support from a lot of nextflow/nf-core developers, or if you're interested in learning but unsure what to do you can help out contributing to existing pipelines (e.g. nf-core/eager for aDNA processing, or nf-core/mag for de Novo assembly of bacterial genomes, or bacass for bacterial genome assembly and annotation)

Good question... Off the top of my head In our department people normally go to:

SMBE (international, Evo bio), EAA (Europe, archaeology but lots of aDNA/ArchSci normally), ISBA (international but mostly Europe, Biomolecular archaeology), AAPA/SAA etc (n. Amèrica, anthropology but lots of palaeoanthropology?

If anyone is interested to apply: We invite submissions to MLMG 2022, the ECML-PKDD 2022 workshop on machine learning for microbial genomics to be held virtually, on September 23rd. Submission deadline: June 20th 2022.

The improvement and increasing accessibility of Next Generation Sequencing data calls for innovative data analysis strategies to extract meaningful and actionable information. Machine learning approaches are more and more popular in this context, offering alternative and complementary tools beyond bioinformatics to analyze genomic data. However, despite the recent advances, their application remains challenging and new approaches that are robust, scalable to large-scale high-dimensional data and interpretable are needed.

This workshop aims to bring together interdisciplinary researchers working at the interface of machine learning and computational biology for the study of microbial genomic data to discuss recent advances in this field. We will also have the privilege of hosting two distinguished speakers from this community to discuss and present their current research.

Typical topics of interest include:

  • Improving microbial genome wide association studies (GWAS).
  • Phenotype prediction from microbial genomes.
  • Inferring population parameters from a set of microbial genomes.
  • Visualization of microbial genomes in a way that highlights relevant elements with respect to a phenotype of interest.
  • Study of the constitution of a microbial flora.

Key dates:

  • Submission deadline: June 20th 2022 (instructions here)
  • Decisions: July 13th 2022
  • Online workshop: September 23rd

Hello SPAAM people, I got a suggestion to advertise here our EAA 2023 session (661: Pathogenic Disease in the Past), in case you here are interested in a little bit more archaeological meeting this year! (Abstract submission DL next Monday, February 13th at 23:59 CET)

So warm welcome to everyone working on ancient diseases, with genetics, proteomics, etc. More info in the docx attached!

Hello @channel!

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to our SMBE 2023 symposium, "Host-pathogen co-evolutionary dynamics through the lens of paleogenomics." The SMBE 2023 will be held in beautiful Ferrara, Italy, from July 23 to July 27.

The aim of this symposium is to assemble findings from the field of Paleogenomics addressing the interactions between pathogens and their hosts throughout human history, such as pathogen origins and spread, the genetic processes involved in the emergence of epidemics among past human populations, and the evolutionary mechanisms underlying human adaptation to infectious disease exposure.

During this symposia, two outstanding invited speakers will be featured: @Maria Spyrou with a title talk, "Investigating the genomic history of plague, from the Neolithic to the present" and Gaspard Kerner presenting "A time-series aDNA approach detects genetic adaptation to pathogens in post-Neolithic Europe".

The deadline for abstract submission will be on the 15th of March. See the website for more details https://www.smbe2023.org/abstractsubmission.

Please, feel free to forward this to colleagues and students that might be interested !!

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Dr. Federica Pierini (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology) Dr. Linda Ongaro (Trinity College Dublin) Dr. Marco Rosario Capodiferro (Trinity College Dublin) Dr. Miriam Bravo (LIIGH-UNAM)

It will be sent out through other means as well. Due to ongoing website issues, we decided to go the pdf route for now, but it will be available everywhere in due course.

Hi @channel, We are very excited to announce a new event: Speed networking between PIs and young researchers! We will group PIs and young researchers into pairs/small groups in breakout rooms to share a bit about their background, all within a limited amount of time. We have planned this event to replicate the informal networking that happens in a conference but from the comfort of your own house ;).

The first date for this event series would be the 17th of July at 16:00 CEST (Paris time)! Come to talk with: • Prof. Anne Stone (Arizona State University, https://stone.lab.asu.edu/). Topics: ancient pathogens, mycobacteria, primate variation, human population history, forensics. • Associate Prof. Dr. Christina Warinner (Ph.D.) (Harvard University, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, https://christinawarinner.com/ ). Topics: oral microbiome, gut microbiome, food culture through microbes, proteomics, human adaptation to extreme environments • Dr. Nicolás Rascovan (Institut Pasteur, https://research.pasteur.fr/en/team/microbial-paleogenomics/). Topics: oral microbiome, ancient pathogens, human population genetics, evolution • Dr. Katerina Guschanski (The University of Edinburgh, Uppsala University, https://www.uu.se/en/contact-and-organisation/staff?query=N14-1484). Topics: microbiome, evolution, ecology, nonhuman primates, biological diversity This is your chance to get to talk to them in an informal setting, to ask them any questions and see if they may be a good fit for your future career! If you are interested in participating, please fill out the registration form by July 10th.
