[BBC] [Gtpb] REMINDER: TA-AFADM14 - Bioinformatics Training Course

[Pedro Fernandes]

Dear GTPB mailing list member

Please allow me to remind you that this hands-on training course joins  
together of two connected subjects

- RNAseq using open source tools

- Automatic Functional Annotation using Blast2GO

In the feedblack collected in previous editions, this course is  
considered highly efficient in  skills transfer

If you have not yet done so, please consider applying or indicating  
the course to a colleague or collaborator. The published deadline is  
Sept 26th.

Thank ,Pedro Fernaandes

The Gulbenkian Training Programme in Bioinformatics is pleased to   
announce that the applications for the hands-on Bioinformatics   
training course

TA-AFADM14
Transcriptome Assembly, Automatic Annotation and Data Mining

are now OPEN. Please have a look at our website here:
http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/TA-AFADM14/

Course duration: 4 days
Course fee: Euro 320.00

We will have Stefan Goetz and Riccardo Alese Cigliano as instructors.
This course has already been run here several times with a great deal   
of success, as revealed by very positive feedback reports and   
subsequent recruitment by word of mouth by satisfied attendees.

Course description:

This is a combined course in RNA-seq and functional annotation aimed   
at scientists working in next generation sequencing transcriptomics   
who want to extract the best possible information from their data. The  
  course covers all aspects of RNA-seq analysis, from quality control,  
  to mapping, reconstruction of transcripts and differential  
expression.  Participants will learn how to deal with RNA-seq data  
both in the  presence and absence of a reference genome.

The second part of the course is a practical workshop on Blast2GO, the  
  most popular framework for functional annotation of sequence data.   
Participants will learn how to generate de novo functional labels,   
such as GO terms and KEGG pathways, for their sequence data and how to  
  extract relevant information from these annotations, i.e.   
visualisation and enrichment analysis using the Gene Ontology. This   
part will be based on the use of the Blast2GO application and will   
mainly comprise exercises and practical cases. Participants may bring   
their own data.

Who should attend? Experimentalists and bioinformaticians working on   
EST, NextGeneration Sequencing and microarray design projects,   
specially (but not exclusively) of non-model species. No programming   
knowledge is required.

Thank you for your continued interest
