Therese Catanach: Using R in Phylogenetics
Luciano Cosme: Next Generation Sequencing – Data processing and gene expression
Therese Catanach: Phylogenetic and Biogeographic assessments in R

The OSOS workshop will conclude with a super-awesome dinner/evening social hosted by EEBISO and EEB. Check your email soon for announcements and updates about the social.
