GLOBALDIV 2008 Summer School offers theoretical and practical lectures within an interactive educational program designed to enhance researcher abilities in technologies, statistics and methods for the investigation of animal genomes and the characterization of their genetic diversity.
This five-day course is an excellent training opportunity for Ph.D. students and junior researchers. Participation to the school is free of charge, the travel and accommodation is at the expense of the participants.
GLOBALDIV will support (lodging and meals in Piacenza) the best 8 applicants among students coming from East Europe, Asia, Africa and South/Central America. Travel cost will remain to the responsibility of students.

TOPICS: farm animal production systems and threats to biodiversity in Europe, emerging and developing countries; novel technologies for DNA analysis; population genetics, statistics and software for the analysis of genomic and mitochondrial DNA data; reconstruction of farm animal domestication; discussion of case studies presented by participants.
LECTURERS: Paolo Ajmone Marsan, Paul Boettcher, Licia Colli, Josè Fernando Garcia, Jianlin Han, Olivier Hanotte, Juha Kantanen, Johannes Arjen Lenstra, Riccardo Negrini, Anna Olivieri, Pierre Taberlet, Miika Tapio, Steffen Weigend, Milan Zaijc.
