Course Announcement


             IB12A
        Introductory  Bioinformatics

http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/IB12A


with David P. Judge, Phil Cunningham and Pedro Fernandes

    IMPORTANT DATES for this Course
    Deadline for applications: November 30th 2012
    Latest notification of acceptance: December 3rd 2012
    Course date: December 10th - 14th 2012

Candidates with adequate profile will be accepted in the next 72 hours  
after the application until we reach 20 participants.

Overview

The course sets out to introduce an extensive range of computing  
facilities vital for molecular biological research. This will be  
achieved primarily through "hands on" exercises based around an  
investigation of a well documented human disease. How information can  
be obtained both by analysis of raw sequence data and by interrogation  
of information resources will be demonstrated. In order to enable the  
participants to perform sequence analysis on short read sequences, we  
will provide a short tutorial on NGS data analysis for beginners.

Objectives

The course is a user course. How to use the various tools is thus the  
prime objective. However, where it is useful, the operation of the  
programs will be discussed as far as is required. Participants will  
know how to set up the programs in an informed fashion, and to fully  
understand the output generated. On completion of this 5 day long  
training, they will also know how to implement this methodology  
elsehwere, using public domain software and data resources.

The course will provide participants with an awareness of a wide range  
of bioinformatics tools and sufficient experience to use those tools  
in basic investigations.
Target Audience

This course is intended for those wishing to investigate how they  
might begin to exploit the ever expanding abundance of computing  
resources for molecular biologists.
Course Pre-requisites

Basic understanding of molecular biology and no particular computing  
expertise will be assumed.



Thank you for your interest!     (deadline for applications Nov 30th)
