Introduction to Nanopore Sequencing Course: Fundamentals and Analysis
In this course we will offer an overview of sequencing using Nanopore, with emphasis on the application of this technology in the study of genome assembly, sequencing of specific areas with laboratory and computer enrichment, amplicon sequencing, and exploring new possibilities such as direct RNA sequencing and epigenetic modification detection. The course includes theoretical talks, laboratory demonstrations of the preparation of libraries and loading of the flowcell for sequencing, as well as the different bioinformatics tools for the use of the data generated using Nanopore.

Introductory Phylogeny Course
This introductory course on phylogeny is designed to provide participants with a solid foundation in the core principles of phylogenetics, and to provide them with the necessary tools to autonomously analyze the evolutionary relationships between organisms. Throughout the course, participants will learn about the types of data used in phylogenetic studies, the structure and handling of different file formats, as well as key techniques for sequence alignment. Various evolutionary models that underpin phylogenetic tree inference methods will be explored, including Maximum Parsimony, Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian methods.

Introductory Course to Sample and Data Management of Natural History Collections
Introductory course to the basic procedures for data and sample collection. Emphasis will be placed on methods of sample preparation and conservation, data management and biodiversity portals (GBIF, Biodibal and CBBapp) will be presented. This course is designed to provide a solid foundation in these fundamental areas of scientific research and biodiversity conservation. During the three days, the basic techniques for the conservation of terrestrial and aquatic samples will be introduced, as well as the proper management of the data associated with these samples. By the end of the course, participants will gain the knowledge, protocols, and tools required to systematically and accurately collect and conserve samples across diverse environments.

R & Bash Introductory Course
The aim of this course is to provide participants with basic tools for data exploration and the development of their own scripts and commands. During the course, some of the most commonly used commands and objects in data analysis will be explored in two programming languages: R and Bash. After a brief introduction to the two languages and an explanation of their differences, the focus will be on the practical resolution of real-world examples of data description and manipulation.

Workshop “Fundamentals of Programming and Bioinformatics”
This workshop aims to provide basic tools for data exploration and the development of own sequences and commands. During the workshop, some of the most commonly used commands in data analysis in three different programming languages will be explored: R, Python and Bash.
