Workshop on
“Exploiting and understanding Solanaceous genomes”
Organised by the transPLANT Consortium[1],
October 13-14, 2014

Wageningen, the Netherlands



We are pleased to announce the 3rd transPLANT user Training Workshop in Wageningen, the Netherlands (Wageningen University & Research Centre) on October 13-14, 2014. transPLANT is a vibrant consortium of 11 European partners gathered to address the challenges of complex plant genome data integration and analysis. It aims to develop a trans-national infrastructure for plant genomic science. For details, please visit http://transplantdb.eu/.

     This third workshop (see detailed program below) focuses on current developments in plant data resources at transPLANT partner sites, with a special reference to Solanaceae and its genomes, especially tomato and potato. The workshop is targeted at (experimental) biologists and breeders who have needs to use these resources in everyday work to interpret own observations and plan new research objectives. No particular prior (informatics) knowledge or skills are required. In the different sessions, the workshop will introduce partner resources and tools, with emphasis on hands-on training how to obtain, search and use this data. The local organizer is Wageningen University & Research Centre (WUR), Applied Bioinformatics, Plant Research International.
