Introducción al ADN ambiental ENG

From 25 to 27 November, 2025

Introduction to Environmental DNA and Metabarcoding of Eukaryotic Communities

This course provides a general introduction to molecular methods for biodiversity analysis using DNA extracted from environmental samples, metabarcoding analysis procedures (laboratory and sequencing strategies), and bioinformatic methods for data processing and taxonomic assignment with reference databases. It emphasises hands-on problem-solving and practical application, using examples based on real datasets. This is an introductory course, suitable for participants without prior experience in metabarcoding.

Target audience: Technical staff, undergraduate students, researchers, and faculty members interested in applying molecular tools to biodiversity studies. Basic knowledge of programming and data handling will be valued.

Requirements: Applicants must submit a motivation letter outlining their reasons for attending and their academic/professional link to the topic.

RADseq Data Analysis ENG

From 29 September to 2 October, 2025

RADseq Data Analysis

This course focuses on the analysis of restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RADseq) data for identifying and genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), a key technique for genotyping non-model organisms. These methods enable the detection of thousands of genetic variants in hundreds of individuals quickly and cost-effectively.

Participants will explore various methods for generating and analysing these data, with a special focus on bioinformatic analysis using Stacks software. The course will also include an introduction to both basic and advanced Unix concepts.

Target audience: Technical staff, postgraduate students, and researchers interested in the analysis of reduced representation genomic sequencing (RRGS) data — such as RAD-seq, ddRAD, 2bRAD, GBS — applied mainly to non-model organisms, with or without a reference genome.

Requirements: Basic biology knowledge and familiarity with genomic data derived from next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. Programming knowledge is recommended.

Instructors:

Natalia Díaz Arce (AZTI)

Naiara Rodríguez-Ezpeleta (AZTI)

BiodiversityDay2025 ENG

22nd May, 2025

2nd Biodiversity Interdisciplinary Meeting

Biodiversity Day 2025

Celebrating International Biodiversity Day, this multidisciplinary event will bring together researchers, students and managers in biology, evolution, ecology, conservation and environmental sciences, among other disciplines. We will explore the challenges and opportunities of biodiversity, approaching its study, management and conservation from a collective and innovative perspective.

Invited speakers, speed-talks, posters (with prizes for students) and networking opportunities in a relaxed atmosphere.
