                         REMINDER

ELB18F
Entry Level Bioinformatics (First course in 2018)
our entry level course with a soft introduction to NGS data analysis

with David P. Judge, Pedro L. Fernandes and Daniel Sobral

The GTPB is proud to announce that the above referenced hands-on  
training course is open for applications

Important dates
  IMPORTANT DATES for this Course
  Deadline for applications: February 8th 2018
  Course dates: February 19th - February 23rd 2018


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

  This is an entry level course aimed that those with a reasonable  
biological background but no significant experience with  
bioinformatics. The course is broadly based around a series of  
exercises in which a combination of simple analytical tools and  
reference to publicly available databases is applied to the  
investigation of a single human gene. The training manual for the  
course is comprised of detailed instructions for the tasks undertaken.  
Included are, questions (with answers) and discussion of and the  
interpretation of the results achieved.

Participants are asked to imagine an interest in the disease aniridia.  
Course exercises then provide extremely detailed instruction leading  
participants to discover the gene primarily associated with this  
disease and all that is interesting about that gene and its protein  
products.

This course will also provide a soft introduction to Next Generation  
Sequencing (NGS) data analysis. This part of the course aims at  
providing basic skills that are needed when one needs to process NGS  
data, such as evaluating data quality, trimming sequences, changing  
data formats, visualising data, etc. Then, participants will learn how  
to address a simple transcriptomics problem, stepwise, using open  
source bioinformatics tools.
