We will introduce single-sequence based predictions of biophysical characteristics of proteins, methods that use multiple sequence alignments, and methods that determine the difference between a protein and its mutant form. Date: 10 September Location: U-Residence, Brussels Trainers: Wim Vranken & Niloofar Shirvanizadeh Info & registration [https://training.vib.be/bioinformatics-tools-predict-protein-properties-sequ...] Galaxy Training: Using Galaxy for RNA-seq This practical aims to familiarize you with the Galaxy user interface & execute a complete analysis of RNA-seq data. It will teach you how to perform basic tasks such as importing data, running tools, working with histories, creating workflows, and sharing your work. You'll also learn how to perform filtering and quality control of reads, mapping to reference genomes and variant calling. Date: 8 October Location: Clemenspoort, Gent Trainers: Lieven Sterck & Tuur Muyldermans Info & registration [https://training.vib.be/galaxy-training-using-galaxy-rna-seq] Functional Plant Bioinformatics (PLAZA) This two-day workshop will introduce the basic concepts of comparative and functional -omics data analysis in plants through lectures and practical hands-on sessions. You will have a good understanding of the organization of plant genomes, the evolution of plant gene families, the different systems used to describe gene functions and extract relevant biological information from -omics gene sets. Date: 21 & 22 October Location: UGent-VIB Research Building FSVM, Gent Trainers: Klaas Vandepoele & Michiel Van Bel Info & registration [https://training.vib.be/functional-plant-bioinformatics-plaza] ELIXIR Belgium on behalf of VIB You receive this email because you work at VIB or you have expressed interest in our Bioinformatics training sessions.
