Traditional single gene phylogenetics can establish evolu-tionary relationship among closely related organisms, rel-atively easily. However, they suffer form several draw-backs. Large scale, whole genome phylogenomics can pro-vide much more insights about the evolutionary relation-ship and are preferred due to availability of whole ge-nome sequences for large number of organisms. These large scale analyses requires huge amounts of computa-tional power as well as UNIX skills to manipulate data.
           This workshop will provide a workflow for such large scale phylogenomic analyses on High Performance Computing nodes. We will provide a logical workflow, starting from downloading the whole genomes, identifying the orthologs, multiple sequence alignments, trimming and merging alignments, and constructing Maximum Likeli-hood Bayesian phylogenetic tree.
          This workshop requires users to be familiar with UNIX. The intended audience for this workshop is faculty, staff and students who are already familiar with the theory and concepts of phylogenetics but want to use the computa-tional resources of Bioinformatics Core and RCAC servers for their analyses.
