Hello,
This is a reminder that the application deadline for the 2009 GMOD
Summer School - Europe is 6 April, one week from now.
The 2009 GMOD Summer School - Europe
(http://gmod.org/wiki/2009_GMOD_Summer_School_-_Europe) will be held
3-6 August, 2009 at the University of Oxford, as a part of GMOD Europe
2009 (http://gmod.org/wiki/GMOD_Europe_2009). Tuition is £95.
GMOD (http://gmod.org/) is a collection of interoperable open source
software components for managing, visualizing, annotating and
integrating biological data. It is also a community of developers and
users dealing with similar challenges.
The course offers hands-on training on how to deploy and administer:
* Genome / Comparative Genomics Viewers - GBrowse, JBrowse, GBrowse_syn, Apollo
* Genome Annotation - Apollo, Artemis-Chado Integration
* Databases - Chado, BioMart
Please contact the GMOD Help Desk (help at gmod.org) if you have questions.
Thanks,
Dave Clements
