Synopsis
The aim of the miniworkshop is to bring together young and established researchers to present and discuss state of the art results regarding stochastic models and inference methods necessary to analyse the observed patterns of variation in genetic data of real populations with highly variable offspring distribution that are subject to evolutionary forces such as recombination, selection and spatial structure.
This workshop is part of the SPP Priority Programme 1590 Probabilistic structures in evolution funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
