Participation in the “Introduction to Population Genomics” workshop

Assistant Zvonimir Mijadžiković participated in the "Introduction to Population Genomics" workshop, organized by Physalia Courses from March 16 to 20, 2026, during which he enhanced his theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of population genomics. The workshop covered the analysis of population structure, the detection of introgression, the reconstruction of the demographic history of populations, and the identification of genomic regions associated with natural selection and environmental adaptation. Through practical exercises, participants became familiar with bioinformatic tools and methods for analyzing whole-genome sequencing data, with a particular focus on the interpretation of genomic diversity and evolutionary processes. The knowledge gained represents a valuable contribution to ongoing research within the Genoplov project, specifically regarding the analysis of genomic diversity and population structure in modern and ancient cattle.
