Room: Lecture Hall This will be a brainstorming workshop where we can share our ideas about potential future collaborative projects on this and other topics. Please bring slides on: (maximum 3 slides) 1.Examples of species interactions inferred from sedaDNA 2.Examples of network analysis using environmental/ancient genomic data 3.Funding opportunities for collaborative projects 4.Further joint project ideas in other sedaDNA topics During the workshop we will work on this document, you can already check and add ideas now. If you want to share slides, you can add them there or bring on your stick. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/18bjtpFVX7WvEO5DzhV8c9IfQkPctW-G2HZBPTBLhoV0/edit#slide=id.g2506be43762_0_4

13:00 - 15:00
Room: Lecture Hall Implementation of a DNA metabarcoding pipeline using obitools4 OBITools have been around for over 15 years. OBITools4 is their latest version, with a considerable improvement in terms of computational efficiency and ease of installation. During this tutorial, based on the analysis of a toy dataset, we will review the principles behind OBITools, the main algorithms they implement, their advantages and disadvantages. This workshop is recommended for students and early PhDs.

Modelling workshop on detecting aquatic transitions in sedDNA records (PAGES PaleoECOGEN)) - Zofia Taranu
Modelling workshop on detecting aquatic transitions in sedDNA records (PAGES PaleoECOGEN))
- Zofia Taranu
15:30 - 18:00
Room: Seminar Room The PaleoECOGEN workshop will be split into parts: - The first part (Thursday) will be an R workshop, open an to all people, on methods used to detect critical transitions. In particular, the workshop will present Online Dynamic Linear Models (Online DML) for uni- and multivariate datasets. - The second part (Friday), again open to all, will be a bring your own data session followed by a group discussion to brainstorm on potential future collaborative projects. Participants will thus be able to apply the R code from part one of the workshop to their own data (2 hours), and then regroup to discuss commonalities about questions and datasets (1 hr), ending off with a brief discussion of research questions that could be applied to our combined datasets in the future (1 hr).
