The students will have both theoretical and hands-on training for the entire experimental pipeline: ecological fundamentals, hypothesis testing, field training, molecular biology for genomics analysis, bioinformatics, data analysis and statistical testing, and scientific manuscript writing. A semester course, in contrast to a shorter workshop format, allows students to digest all the information and conduct both the wet and dry experiments on real (not mock) samples, ideally producing a bona fide manuscript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-blush-light-purple-gradient-background has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>EMT 1 <\/strong>(2021) was successfully run and focused on the question of supply-side ecology using Green Island as the main study site. This first iteration was piloted by Biodiversity Research Center (BRC) PIs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>EMT2 <\/strong>(2022) was focused on addressing whether the protection of fish in Taiwan waters is associated with an expected expansion of its genetic diversity through larger populations. It was a collaboration between BRC and Institute for Cellular and Organismic Biology (ICOB) PIs. The main study site was based out of the ICOB Marine Research Station in Yilan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>EMT 3<\/strong> (2024) was to investigate the biodiversity of the acoel&nbsp;<em>Waminoa<\/em>&nbsp;and their algal symbionts in the Northeast Coast of Taiwan. The goal is to reconstruct the evolutionary history and ecological niche of the association among corals,&nbsp;<em>Waminoa<\/em>, and the&nbsp;<em>Symbiodiniaceae&nbsp;<\/em>or<em>&nbsp;Amphidinium&nbsp;<\/em>symbionts. The second is to obtain the mitochondrial, chloroplast, and possibly nuclear genomes of these species. We will introduce students to some basic developmental biology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/introtogenomics.readthedocs.io\/en\/latest\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/introtogenomics.readthedocs.io\/en\/latest\/\">Introduction to Genomics: Data and Analysis<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TIGP Signature Course-Ecology Masterclass@Taiwan EMT 1 &#8230; <\/p>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tigp-biodiv.biodiv.tw\/index.php\/emt-tigp-signature-course\/\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1354","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigp-biodiv.biodiv.tw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigp-biodiv.biodiv.tw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigp-biodiv.biodiv.tw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigp-biodiv.biodiv.tw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigp-biodiv.biodiv.tw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1354"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"https:\/\/tigp-biodiv.biodiv.tw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1354\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1919,"href":"https:\/\/tigp-biodiv.biodiv.tw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1354\/revisions\/1919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigp-biodiv.biodiv.tw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
