Don’t miss Fungal Pathogen Genomics!

January 30, 2017

The application deadline for the Fungal Pathogen Genomics workshop to be held May 11-17, 2017 at the Wellcome Genome Campus in Hinxton, Cambridge, UK is fast approaching! Be sure to apply by this Friday, February 3!

This exciting new week-long course aims to provide experimental biologists working on fungal organisms with hands-on experience in genomic-scale data analysis; including genome browsers and comparison tools, data mining using resources such as FungiDB, Ensembl/PhytoPathDB, PomBase, SGD/CGD, MycoCosm, analysis of genome annotation, and next generation sequence analysis and visualization (including RNA sequence analysis and variant calling). An important aim is that the participants should understand the origin of data available in public resources and how to analyse it in conjunction with their own.

The course is taught as a collaborative effort between available fungal informatics resources. The majority of this intensive course will be based on hands-on exercises, supplemented by lectures on genomics and bioinformatics techniques and keynote presentations by distinguished guest speakers.

Don’t miss out – apply now!
