COST Action Dynalife Training School: The Riddle of the Genetic Code

The training course on the mysteries of the genetic code will take place in Mülheim an der Ruhr from May 1 to 3, 2024 (arrival on April 30, departure on May 4). The venue is the conference center "Die Wolfsburg", where the trainers and trainees will also be accommodated. The topic - the enigma of the genetic code - is a central theme of the DYNALIFE COST project and is particularly important for the WG1 and WG2 groups. Several of the goals of the DYNALIFE project deal with the genetic code, e.g. developing and testing the various models and theories on genetic coding with state-of-the-art biological data and modern methods from statistics and data science in general. The idea of the training school is therefore to provide a platform for the DYNALIFE community to learn and study the facets of the genetic code. Six trainers will each give a half-day introduction to their area of expertise around the genetic code (topics range from theoretical properties of the genetic code to statistical methods for studying the genetic code and genetic data to applications in biology). The lecturers will prepare lectures and exercises or practical studies at a level suitable for young researchers. The school is primarily aimed at PhD students or young researchers, but is also open to established researchers in working groups WG1 and WG2 who wish to broaden their knowledge in the field to advance their research within DYNALIFE.
