Dear colleagues,

We are excited to announce the second edition of the course "Proteomic methods for species identification of archaeological and palaeontological materials."

Dates and schedule: Online live sessions on December 12th, 16th, 18th, 2024. From 14:00 to 18:00 (Madrid time zone).

Instructor: Dr. Michael Buckley (University of Manchester, UK).

This course is addressed to researchers willing to learn how to identify species from archaeology and palaeontology samples with proteomic information.

Programme:

*             Introduction to ancient proteins and reasons for analysing them and

the most appropriate biochemical methods to do so, relating to sample type

o             Short introduction on protein structure, evolution, and ongoing

investigations in zooarchaeology and palaeobiology

*             Learn the basics of proteomics

o             Introduction to the differences between ionization techniques, mass

analysers, and fragmentation methods.

o             Illustration with worked examples of de novo sequencing peptides and

probability-based sequence matching.

*             Identifying a species from a peptide mass fingerprint

o             Introduction on how to identify ancient collagen fingerprints and

understand the confidence levels for taxonomic assignment

o             Learn the use of automated tools for identification that include

machine learning, and understand their limitations

*             Learn to infer a species through the proteome analysis of an ancient

sample

o             Learn how to interpret sequence data from complex samples of unknown

species

o             Identify confidence levels of cross-species sequence interpretations

through protein BLAST and the Ensembl Genome Browser

*             Summary

o             Summary on the various techniques' strengths and weaknesses,

assumptions for each approach, some of the standard open-source tools available, and alternative tools currently available on R with some worked examples.
