[Gtpb] Fwd: Introductory Bioinformatics training course - IB16S - Reminder
by Pedro L. Fernandes 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

*************** REMINDER ******************** The Gulbenkian Training Programme in Bioinformatics Applications for the bioinformatics training course IB16S Introductory Bioinformatics (Second course in 2016) - our entry level course with a soft introduction to NGS data analysis with David P. Judge, Pedro Fernandes and Daniel Sobral IMPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: November 30th 2016 Course date: December 12th - December 16th 2016 Candidates with adequate profile will be accepted in the next 72 hours after the application until we reach 20 participants. Overview 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. Objectives The operation of the various programs used in the exercises will be explained, but only to the extent that allows a user to select parameters intelligently and to interpret results. 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 with a relatively high degree of user independence. In the training course design, this is intentionally built-in, to allow us to show a wide range of analytical techniques while providing enough experience to break the ice in all of them. Target Audience This course is intended for those wishing to investigate how they might begin to exploit the ever expanding abundance of computing and data resources for researchers seeking help in using them.

23 Nov '16

Course on Programming for Evolutionary Biology When: March 4th - March 20th 2017 Location: Leipzig, Germany Application deadline: December 31st 2016 Detailed information about the course content and how to apply: http://evop.bioinf.uni-leipzig.de/ In this intensive 17 days course, students will learn how to survive in a Linux environment, get hands-on experience in two widely used programming languages (Python and R), and statistical data analysis. The classes will be given by experts in the field and consist of lectures and exercises with the computer. The aim of the course is to provide the students with the necessary background and skills to perform computational analyses with a focus on solving research questions related to genomics and evolution. The philosophy of the course will be “learning by doing”, which means that the computational skills will be taught using examples and real data from evolutionary biology for the exercises. During the course, students will also propose projects of their own interest and perform them as final projects in small groups under the supervision of a teaching assistant. This summer school is open for students from all countries and targeted toward PhD students and postdocs of evolutionary biology or related research fields with no or little programming experience who want to become proficient in computational evolutionary biology in a couple of weeks. The course takes place at the University of Leipzig. -- Prof Jan Aerts ESAT/STADIUS, Visual Data Analysis Lab KU Leuven, Belgium +16321053 http://www.esat.kuleuven.be/stadius/ http://vda-lab.be
