On the 28th of April session, Josh made a nice and easy demo of how to use adegenet in R for easy population genetics pipeline analysis: “From SNPs to structure: population genetic analyses using R’s adegenet function”.

Josh’s slides are available here and documentation about adegenet here.

This week Rhys showed us a number of bioinfomatics tools and approaches to metagenomics analyses.

Rhys’s slides are available here.

In November Maddie gave us all an excellent and in-depth guide to SNP filtering from NGS data for population genetics analysis

Maddies slides are available here and ‘vcftools’ documentation can be found here.

On the 29th of October session, Alicia gave a beautiful explanation of how to do phylogentics analysis with the BEAST.

Alicia’s slides are available here and documentation about BEAST here.

Tom gave an awesome introduction to phylogenetics analysis on the 10th of October 2018.

Toms slides are available here.

Our second session, in August 2018, James discussed some of the issues with Quality Control of NGS data.

James’ slides are available here Some of the tools mentioned are multiqc, fastqc, fastqscreen, and bbduk from the bbmap toolset.
