Island phylogeography course

Mario Mairal, a post-doc at our Department, is giving a two-day course on Island phylogeography.

Ph.D. defence of Vít Hubka

The message of the fossil plant record: reconstruction of vegetation and climate in the geological past

Institute of Geology and Palaeontology invites to lecture.

Course of work in Linux command line not only for MetaCentrum 2018

Don’t be afraid of command line! It is friendly and powerful tool. Practically identical is command line also in Mac OS X, BSD and another UNIX-based systems, not only in Linux. Basic knowledge of Linux is not conditional. Course will be taught in Linux, but most of the point are applicable also for another UNIX systems like Mac OS X. Knowledge of Linux/UNIX is useful e.g. for working with molecular and another data. MetaCentrum is service provided by CESNET allowing access to huge computational capacity. If there is at least one participant not speaking Czech, the course will be in English.

Course of work with molecular data in R 2018

R is nowadays probably the most powerful tool for statistics of all types. There are plenty of modules available for work with molecular data. Those will be introduced during the course. Previous knowledge of R is useful, but not necessary. If there is at least one participant not speaking Czech, the course will be in English.

Evolution of Biomes and Biodiversity: A Southern Hemisphere Perspective

I'd like to invite all of you to a talk by prof. Laco Mucina, "Evolution of Biomes and Biodiversity: A Southern Hemisphere Perspective" (see the attachment for an abstract). It is scheduled for Tuesday 6th June, 3 p.m. (usual seminar time), at Krajinovka.

Lecture given by candidates to the position of Assistant Professor at the Department of Botany #4

Michael Nowak: Genomic explorations into the evolution of plant mating systems and the dynamics of speciation.

Lecture given by candidates to the position of Assistant Professor at the Department of Botany #2

Clèment Lafon-Placette: Does sexual selection drive speciation in plants? A perspective from micro- to macroevolution.

Lecture given by candidates to the position of Assistant Professor at the Department of Botany #3

Marc Stift: Experimental approaches to improve our understanding of the evolution of selfing and polyploid genetics.

Lecture given by candidates to the position of Assistant Professor at the Department of Botany #1

Lectures about relationships of plants and fungi

Two talks from our Estonian guests.

Lecture of Segio Rasmann

Elevation gradients drives the evolution of plant defence strategies against herbivores.

Marine phycology course 2016

This course is concentrated on biodiversity of marine algae communities in the Mediterranean or along the European north coasts (Baltic, North Sea). In addition, marine phytoplankton is also demonstrated during the course that takes place usually in September.

Hyb-Seq NGS course

Do you want to start a phylogenomic project and sequence hundreds of genes in parallel? Do you want to learn how to prepare probes for enrichment of sequencing libraries in your species? Do you want to learn how to process NGS reads and produce a species tree?

Renovation of server hardware and software updates

There is a time to update hardware of our departmental server. It will give us better performance. We will exchange hard drives for 2x2 TB to double capacity for users' data and 2x480 GB SSD for better performance. We will also update server operating system.
