Premios 2010 - Research Blogging

Awards 2010 - Research Blogging

ResearchBlogging.org premiará al mejor blog seleccionado entre los casi 1000 blogs registrados que publican opiniones y discusiones serias sobre artículos arbitrados de investigación. Hay un premio para el mejor blog en cada área de la ciencia y también habrá un premio para el mejor blog en Español.

Los premios se adjudicarán a blogs registrados en RB.org, nominados antes del 11 de febrero, los cuales serán calificados por jueces expertos. Los blogs ganadores se anunciarán el 23 de Marzo, 2010. La información completa esta en http://researchblogging.org/news/?p=834

Este blog de "Noticias sobre Filogenética" esta registrado en RB.org. Se lanzo la invitación a participar en Marzo 2009. A la fecha se han publicado escasamente las siguientes 4 entradas compartiendo opiniones sobre artículos publicados en revistas arbitradas.

• Filogenética bajo Verosimilitud con un enfoque para "PhDs"
  
• Secuencias “COI-like numts” inutilizan los codigos de barras de DNA
  
• Considerable diversidad genética entre mexicanos
• Cladistics: Analisis de una matriz gigante de >73000 UT

El propósito de los premios de RB.org es reconocer a los colaboradores de blogs que ayudan a una mayor difusión de la ciencia. Espero esto sea una motivación clave y que los colaboradores de este blog se animen a compartir este año sus opiniones sobre sus lecturas de artículos en las revistas arbitradas.

Next on PhyloSeminar.org: The End of Lineage Sorting: Inferring species trees using *BEAST

Hello everyone!

I'm excited to announce that Joseph Heled will be speaking in a bit less than a week about his joint work with Alexei Drummond on lineage sorting. In addition to a usual talk, he will also be giving a little software demonstration. His abstract is below.

After Joseph will come Noah Rosenberg, who will be speaking in late February (probably the 24th), then Jens Lagergren in late March.

The End of Lineage Sorting: Inferring species trees using *BEAST

Until recently it has been common practice for a phylogenetic analysis to use a single gene sequence from a single individual organism as a proxy for an entire species. With advances in sequenceing technology it is becoming more common to see data sets containing multiple genes from multiple individuals per species. The "simple" way of analyzing those data sets by concatenating sequences from an individual is problematic when species have only recently diverged. In this talk we explain the problem of Incomplete Lineage Sorting, the gene trees within species tree model, the theoretical basis of the multi species coalescent and how to analyze those data sets using *BEAST, a method for species tree inference made available in BEAST 1.5.

Thanks, and pass the word onto your species-tree-interested friends!

The Evolutionary Genomics Group in the Comparative and Computational Genomics program of the IBE (http://www.ibe.upf-csic.es/) is willing to recruit two PhD students.

The research group that the successful candidate will join studies genomic variation at both the intraspecific and interspecific levels in hominids (http://www.upf.edu/bioevo/CV-ArcadiNavarro.htm). Besides several other research projects, the group runs the Population Genomics Node of the Spanish National Bioinformatics Institute (http://www.inab.org), working in close collaboration with the National Genotyping Centre (http://www.cegen.org).
