<b>Workshop FUNCTIONAL PLANT BIOINFORMATICS</b><br>
Organised by ELIXIR Belgium and the VIB Bioinformatics Core<br>
<br>
Date: 14-15 September 2017<br>
Location: Ghent, Belgium<br>
<br>
<b>Goals</b><br>
This workshop will introduce the basic concepts of comparative and
functional -omics data analysis in plants through lectures and
practical hands-on sessions. Both plant biologists and geneticists
with an interest in bioinformatics, data analysis, and comparative
& regulatory genomics should attend this training. After this
workshop, you will have a good understanding of the organization and
evolution of plant gene families and know how to extract relevant
biological information from -omics gene sets.<br>
<br>
<b>Summary</b><br>
DAY 1<br>
Introduction plant comparative genomics (genes, gene families,
synteny analysis) + introduction PLAZA platform<br>
Functional characterization of plant genes (Families, GO, InterPro)<br>
<br>
DAY 2<br>
Gene set analysis for different plant -omics data sets:<br>
- functional interpretation of RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq genes using the
PLAZA Workbench<br>
- co-expression and Transcription Factor analysis<br>
<br>
<b>Prerequisites</b><br>
basic knowledge of genes, genomes, transcript profiling, BLAST,
homology, Gene Ontology (no programming skills are required).<br>
