Apollo Training Session: EMBL-ABR
by Michael Charleston 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

Hi all, Remember that workshop on Genome Annotation using Apollo, that we had to cancel, but which might happen virtually? Well there's a great opportunity to join with a live webinar / tutorial presented by Monica Munoz-Torres next week, from 11 to 2pm on Tuesday November 21. There’s no charge, and no pressure, but if you’d like to come along with me and learn then please let me know. I’ll be logging in either from my computer or from a video conferencing room depending on how many people are interested. Apologies for the short notice! It kind of slipped off my radar on account of an unexpected surfeit of the usual academic mayhem. With luck and dedication we’ll also run more sessions next year, and the session will be recorded. Best wishes Mike Michael Charleston Associate Professor in Bioinformatics School of Physical Sciences University of Tasmania AUSTRALIA phone: +61 3 6226 2444 [cid:57A171C5-21DF-4F31-B9AF-65FF92F721D1@maths.utas.edu.au] Theoretical Phylogenetics in Tasmania University of Tasmania Electronic Communications Policy (December, 2014).

AGTA annual meeting Special Day Registration and Workshop attendance for locals
by Kathryn Burdon 19 Oct '17

19 Oct '17

The Australasian Genomics Technologies Association Annual Meeting will be held in Hobart from October 29th to November 1st at the Hotel Grand Chancellor. We have assembled an array of International and Australian scientists to present and discuss genomic technologies and the biology that these technologies are uncovering. We have planned session around complex traits, population genetics, functional genomics, bioinformatics and computational biology, epigenetics and transcriptomics, comparative genomics, gene editing, medical genetics and much more! Registration for the meeting is still open and you can view the program and other meeting information here<http://agtaconference.org/>. We have two concurrent pre-conference workshops<http://agtaconference.org/pre-conference-workshops/> planned on Sunday 29th Oct: "Can genome editing fulfil its promise in the clinic and the field?" and "Technical solution to single cell problems". Both workshops include presentations from invited speakers and panel discussions in which you can participate to learn more about the utility of genome editing or the techniques available for single cell genomics. Locals are invited to attend a workshop without registering for the whole meeting. Tickets are priced at $40 each or $20 for students. We also have a special single day registration rate of $250 for locals, if you would like to attend the meeting but can only make 1 day. To take advantage of these offers, please contact Emma Harrison at Emma(a)leishman-associates.com.au<mailto:Emma@leishman-associates.com.au> directly. They are not available through the conference website. Please distribute this information through your local networks to anyone who may be interested.

Dear all, this might be of interest – the conferences are in Sydney. (Also don’t forget to register for Phylomania<http://www.maths.utas.edu.au/phylomania/phylomania2017.htm> and the Australasian Evolution Society conferences<https://aesconference2017.wordpress.com/>!)

I'd like to inform you that a team of mouse model experts from Cyagen Biosciences will visit Australia and New Zealand from November 20 – December 10, 2017. During this trip, we'll attend the 3rd Oceania Mouse Transgenic & Assisted Reproduction Technologies Symposium and the 37th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australasian Neuroscience Association. If you happen to be there, please stop by our booth for a brief introduction. Our Vice President of Technologies, Dr Marvin Ouyang, will be there to answer all your questions. In order to make the best use of our short stay in Australia and New Zealand, we're looking to organize a couple of technical seminars to explain our core technologies and services. Having read through your profile on your department website, I'm tempted to believe that this could be of use to you and your colleagues. I'd like to know if you can host a technical seminar for your team or department. If a seminar is too difficult to squeeze in, please let us know if a one-to-one visit is possible. Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Phylomania 2017
by Michael Charleston 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

Hello! If there’s anyone out there who hasn’t yet heard of phylogenetics, or didn’t know that the University of Tasmania is the home of the strongest group of researchers working on it in Australia, well… you need to get out more. In particular, you need to get out to phylogenetics conferences! Oh look – here’s one: This is a call to register to attend Phylomania 2017 - The 9th Annual conference of the UTAS Theoretical Phylogenetics group, to be held 6th-8th December in Hobart, Tasmania. This year it will be combined with the 2017 Australasian Evolution Society meeting<https://aesconference2017.wordpress.com/>, running from 4th to 6th December. Yes, there’s a deliberate day of overlap (including the combined conference dinner). Phylomania (and the AES meeting) will be held within the School of Physical Sciences at the Sandy Bay campus of the University of Tasmania. The meeting will bring together mathematicians and biologists to discuss current research in phylogenetics and related areas. If your presentation is likely to also suit the AES audience then you can indicate that you’d like it to be considered for that combined day, when you register. There’s also a place there for you to enter an abstract: if you do, use normal text, html, or LaTeX. If you only have a (rough!) title just now that’s fine, you can update us with more information closer to the conference. You can bring a talk, or a poster, or both! All the details and some pertinent local information can be found at the meeting website http://www.maths.utas.edu.au/phylomania/phylomania2017.htm. General registration is set at $175, with a reduced rate of $120 for students, to cover catering. The conference dinner is $75. The AES has the same costing, and there’s a discount rate for the whole combined conference of $300 ($200 for students). To register please use the form on the website given above, and payment is through that page too. Please do feel free to forward this announcement to others who may be interested in attending — the more the merrier! Best wishes, Mike Charleston and the Theoretical Phylogenetics Group<http://www.maths.utas.edu.au/People/Holland/theoreticalPhylogenetics.htm> Michael Charleston Associate Professor in Bioinformatics Co-director of Data, Knowledge and Decisions Research Theme Head of UTAS node of EMBL-ABR School of Physical Sciences University of Tasmania AUSTRALIA phone: +61 3 6226 2444 p.s. Phylogenetics is the discipline of uncovering the evolutionary relationships among species back in time, from data that we observe in the present. It’s a statistical process, involving groovy maths and big computers, and it has massive importance in biology – it’s the statistical framework to compare species, after all.

Fwd: National Research Collections Australia (NCRA) PhD top-up scholarship
by Michael Charleston 21 Sep '17

21 Sep '17

An interesting looking PhD project with top-up scholarship: National Research Collections Australia (NRCA) top-up scholarship: A molecular view of Australian biodiversity - exploring insect genomes for major shifts in functional genes<http://cba.anu.edu.au/opportunities/student-research/projects-opportunities…> CSIRO’s collections<https://www.csiro.au/en/Research/Collections> are vast storehouses of information about Australia’s biodiversity. These world-class repositories provide base-line data against which modern observations can be compared making them essential for taxonomic, genetic, agricultural and ecological research, and conservation and resource management. Starting in 2018, this PhD project will use CSIRO’s collection resources in combination with DNA barcodes, Whole Genome Shotgun sequences and 600 recently sequenced transcriptomes to build the tree of life for selected Australian insect groups, exploring genomes for functional genes within this evolutionary context. The student will be located in Canberra at the Australian National Insect Collection<https://www.csiro.au/en/Research/Collections/ANIC> (co-superviser Dr Andreas Zwick) and the Research School of Biology<http://biology.anu.edu.au/> at the Australian National University (co-superviser Prof Craig Moritz). This CSIRO National Research Collections top-up scholarship will award $7,000pa stipend and $10,000pa operating. Please see here<http://cba.anu.edu.au/opportunities/student-research/projects-opportunities…> for more information about the project, supervisor details and how to apply. Applications close 31 October.
