Integration Of Speciation Research : Workshop Announcement

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 07:07:57 -0500

We are excited to share that the ESEB- funded special topic network Integration Of Speciation Research (IOS - https://speciation-network.pages.ist.ac.at/) is hosting a second in-person workshop from 7â€“11 December 2026 at the Scottish Centre for Ecology & the Natural Environment (Glasgow, UK - https://www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/scene/).

This workshop is aimed at bringing together ~40 diverse speciation researchers:

- to collaborate on populating a database of published reproductive barriers based on a standardized RIO framework (https://ecoevorxiv.org/repository/view/10083/). This will involve working through papers during the workshop to extract RI measures and other metadata and entering them into a draft database (some preparatory work before the workshop may be requested to facilitate these steps during the workshop)

- to start working towards a manuscript using this database to answer an outstanding question in speciation

- to network, learn about reproductive isolation, and have fun!

If you are interested in applying to participate in the workshop, please fill out the form in the link below by ** May 20th **. Room & board will be covered by the organizers; all other travel costs are the responsibility of the attendee.

Application link:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSenAMqSdZjeRmKEDtBNa5tpjPn7IukPyT5BzfZ4JMpIk2YOEw/viewform

The previous IOS workshop was held in Finland in 2023 (see more details at https://speciation-network.pages.ist.ac.at/workshops) and resulted in new interactions between speciation researchers and the successful publication of an Integration of Speciation research manuscript (https://academic.oup.com/evolinnean/article/3/1/kzae001/7609448).

We look forward to seeing you in Glasgow!

deepTools

Martin Jones — Sat, 08 Nov 2014 15:02:08 -0600

deepTools addresses the challenge of handling the large amounts of data that are now routinely generated from DNA sequencing centers. To do so, deepTools contains useful modules to process the mapped reads data to create coverage files in standard bedGraph and bigWig file formats. By doing so, deepTools allows the creation of normalized coverage files or the comparison between two files (for example, treatment and control). Finally, using such normalized and standardized files, multiple visualizations can be created to identify enrichments with functional annotations of the genome.
