Dear fellow researcher,

At ISMB this year, the Cytoscape development team will be staging an all new advanced Cytoscape tutorial. It will be held the afternoon of Friday July 21 at the ISMB site in Prague.

This tutorial is especially interesting given the fact that Cytoscape is being transformed as part of a Cytoscape Cyber Infrastructure and will support a full blown REST Api.

You can sign up for it on the ISMB web site: https://www.iscb.org/ismbeccb2017-registration

(note: the early bird registration ends the 15th of June)

The full information is here: https://www.iscb.org/ismbeccb2017-program/tutorials#p4

The brief version is below.

Hope to see you there!

The Cytoscape development team
