[Gtpb] ELB18F Entry Level Bioinformatics - REMINDER

REMINDER ELB18F Entry Level Bioinformatics (First course in 2018) our entry level course with a soft introduction to NGS data analysis with David P. Judge, Pedro L. Fernandes and Daniel Sobral The GTPB is proud to announce that the above referenced hands-on training course is open for applications Important dates IMPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: February 8th 2018 Course dates: February 19th - February 23rd 2018 Candidates with adequate profile will be accepted in the next 72 hours after the application until we reach 20 participants. 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. http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/2018/ELB18F Hoping that this course meets your interests, Pedro Fernandes -- Pedro L Fernandes Bioinformatics Training Coordinator Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência Apartado 14 2781-901 OEIRAS PORTUGAL Tel +351 21 4407912 http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt -- The Gulbenkian Training Programme in Bioinformatics General Office Rua da Quinta Grande, 6 2780-156 OEIRAS Portugal _______________________________________________ GTPB mailing list GTPB@igc.gulbenkian.pt https://lists.igc.gulbenkian.pt/mailman/listinfo/gtpb
