Dear colleagues,
Transmitting Science is offering the live online course “Structural phylogenetics: putting protein structure into phylogenetic inference”.
Course webpage: https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/evolution/structural-phylogenetics/ 
Structural phylogenetics is an emerging area that attempts to add information from protein structure to traditional amino-acid-based phylogenies of proteins. As protein structure is typically more conserved than sequence, this approach is likely to be useful for phylogenetic problems where amino acid sequence similarity is highly decayed due to long time periods or rapid evolution. 
The advent of AI/LLM-assisted structural prediction algorithms like AlphaFold has made it feasible to apply these methods without being limited to only experimentally solved Protein Data Bank (PDB) structures.
This course will review various proposed approaches and their assumptions, and guide students to implement and compare several of them. 
For any questions, please write to courses@transmittingscience.com
Best regards,
Haris
