Phylogenetics & Evolutionary Analysis Training

Phylogenetics and evolutionary analysis training — alignment, model selection, tree construction with MEGA / IQ-TREE, and biological interpretation.

What is Phylogenetics & Evolutionary Analysis Training?

This programme makes you confident at building defensible phylogenetic trees and interpreting them in evolutionary terms — alignment, model selection, tree construction, support assessment, and biological narrative.

What you will learn

Multiple sequence alignment with Clustal Omega, MUSCLE, MAFFT
Substitution models and model selection (jModelTest, ModelFinder)
Tree-building methods — Neighbour Joining, Maximum Likelihood, Bayesian intro
MEGA, IQ-TREE, and RAxML practical workflows
Bootstrap analysis and reading branch support correctly
Tree visualisation and figure preparation in FigTree / iTOL

Who this is for

Students from bioinformatics, microbiology, biotechnology, zoology, botany, and evolutionary biology — anyone whose work needs phylogenetic trees that hold up to peer review.

What you take away

NTHRYS training certificate detailing phylogenetics scope
A finished publication-quality tree on a real dataset
Genuine understanding of which methods are defensible and when
A foundation for taxonomy, evolution, and metagenomics work
