Dear all, The Applications for the bioinformatics training course IB16F - Introductory Bioinformatics - which is our ENTRY LEVEL training course, with a soft introduction to NGS Data Analysis - are now *OPEN* IMPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: April 9th 2016 <======= !!! Course date: April 18th - April 22nd 2016 Candidates with adequate profile will be accepted in the next 72 hours after the application until we reach 20 participants. *WARNING* this is one of our most popular training courses. It usually gets fully booked quite rapidly. Details, including application instructions, are available here: http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/IB16F This is an ENTRY LEVEL course, not because it is too simple, but because the level of the pre-requisites is very low. It is designed for participants with no a-priori knowledge about Bioinformatics. A variety of reasons, technical and economical, have led to a situation where affordable nucleotide sequencing data comes exclusively from Next Generation Sequencing machinery. This creates extra needs in knowing how to handle such data. Our course will cover this subject in a soft way. As usual in our courses we have two aims: to transfer a lot of skills by hands-on experience, and to maximise usage independence. All of this is achieved in highly interactive sessions, using teamwork and feedback techniques quite extensively.
