About this course

The Practical Phylogenetics: Multiple Sequence Alignment and Phylogenetic Tree Analysis Using MEGA at Dr. Omics Edu is a live, mentor-led online course in phylogenetics and molecular evolution. It is a practical introduction to alignments and tree building in MEGA. You learn on real biological data and finish with a multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree for a chosen gene family that you can show to an employer, a guide or an admissions panel.
In this course you move through sequence retrieval from public databases, multiple sequence alignment methods and choosing evolutionary models, then apply them in a hands-on project. The course runs live online across 1 module, so you can ask your mentor questions as you work. It is an intermediate-level course, suited to learners who already know the basics.

What you will learn

• Sequence retrieval from public databases
• Multiple sequence alignment methods
• Choosing evolutionary models
• Tree building: NJ, ML and bootstrap
• Reading and editing phylogenetic trees
• Presenting phylogenetic results
Evolutionary bioinformatics researcher, research assistant, and stronger skills for thesis and publication work.
