We are excited to announce a brand new course at Edinburgh Genomics: Alignment, Analysis and Visualisation with Jalview. Jalview (www.jalview.org) is one of the most widely used applications for visualising and analysing DNA, RNA and protein multiple sequence alignments. It is designed to enable anyone working with protein, RNA and DNA sequences to investigate their structure, function and evolution, and create high-quality figures for publication. In a full day introductory workshop and a half-day advanced workshop, Jalview’s lead developer and outreach officer will take participants through a series of hands-on exercises covering all of Jalview’s key capabilities and latest features. Date: 29-30th April 2019 Location: JCMB 4325D, Kings Building, University of Edinburgh, EH9 3FL Introductory workshop (9-5pm Monday 29th April): Participants will learn about multiple sequence alignments and how to create, analyse and visualise them with the Jalview Desktop. A series of short talks, hands-on exercises and Q&A sessions allow participants to explore Jalview’s capabilities for working with phylogenetic trees, 3D structures and annotation from public databases. Advanced workshop (9-12.30pm Tuesday 30th April): Key topics in this workshop will be working with genomic variant data from Ensembl and Gnomad, scripting Jalview with Groovy, and taking advantage of UCSF Chimera’s 3D structure analysis capabilities in Jalview. Instructors: Jim Procter (U. Dundee), Suzanne Duce (U. Dundee). Who should attend: MRes/PhD students, researchers and educators unfamiliar with Jalview should attend the Introductory workshop on the 29th April. Experienced users need only attend the advanced workshop on 30th April to learn about newly added capabilities. Pre-requisites: Basic understanding of molecular biology and biochemistry. Equipment: Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops (Windows/OSX/Linux) but logins will be provided for computers in the UoE IT Suite. Registration: Register<https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/XCB2V86> for both workshops (29-30th April) £45.00 or Register<https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/XP6MLL5> for advanced workshop only (Tuesday 30th April) £0.00 Jalview training is supported by the BBSRC and Wellcome Trust. Registration fees cover administration, lunch and refreshments.
