Workshop FUNCTIONAL PLANT BIOINFORMATICS
Organised by ELIXIR Belgium and the VIB Bioinformatics Core
Date: 14-15 September 2017
Location: Ghent, Belgium
Goals
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.
Summary
DAY 1
Introduction plant comparative genomics (genes, gene families,
synteny analysis) + introduction PLAZA platform
Functional characterization of plant genes (Families, GO, InterPro)
DAY 2
Gene set analysis for different plant -omics data sets:
- functional interpretation of RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq genes using the
PLAZA Workbench
- co-expression and Transcription Factor analysis
Prerequisites
basic knowledge of genes, genomes, transcript profiling, BLAST,
homology, Gene Ontology (no programming skills are required).
