A workshop on "Estimating Species Trees: Practical and Theoretical Aspects of a New Paradigm in Molecular Systematics" will be held at the University of Michigan over a two-day period. The workshop will combine lectures and hands-on computer training, focusing on new approaches and programs for using genetic data in estimates of phyogenetic trees of species. Recent computational and modeling advances have produced methods for estimating species trees directly, which may supercede traditional phylogenetic approaches. The goal of the workshop is to increase the visibility and use of these new methods for the molecular systematics community of scientists and students. It will include lectures on the theoretical underpinnings of new methods, demonstrations of the utility of those methods, and training in new software implementations.

一个关于“估计物种树：分子系统学新范式的实践和理论方面”的讲习班将在密歇根大学举行，为期两天。该讲习班将结合联合收割机讲座和动手电脑培训，重点是新的方法和程序，利用遗传数据估计的植物发生树的物种。最近的计算和建模的进步产生了直接估计物种树的方法，这可能取代传统的系统发育方法。研讨会的目标是提高科学家和学生的分子系统学社区的知名度和使用这些新方法。它将包括新方法的理论基础讲座，这些方法的实用性演示，以及新软件实现的培训。
