Harnessing single-cell omics in evolutionary biology research
This workshop aims to facilitate the exchange of experiences among researchers studying evolution who are utilising single-cell omics technologies.
The workshop will provide a platform for participants to learn how single-cell omics is being applied to evolutionary and ecological questions, offering exposure and insights into this emerging field.
In addition to the conference registration, those interested in attending this workshop, please fill in this form.

PhyloSIB: Workshop on molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and comparative phylogenomics
PhyloSIB is an annual workshop organised by the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) with an emphasis on molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and comparative phylogenomics.
The goal of PhyloSIB is to exchange knowledge and foster discussion on current studies and recent developments in the field. Participants are typically developers of relevant analysis tools and databases, expert users of such tools and databases, as well as students and other researchers on their way to becoming experts. The 2025 edition is organised as a Satellite event preceding the Biology25 conference.
Registration is open to all (limited to 50 participants) and is separate from the Biology25 registration: view the draft programme and register your interest here.
Organizers: Rob Waterhouse (Director, SIB Environmental Bioinformatics Group)
Location: UNIL-Sorge Amphithéâtre du Biophore
Time: 11:00 – 17:00
Included: Sandwich lunch and refreshments, afternoon coffee break
