The Gulbenkian Training Programme in Bioinformatics is pleased to
announce that the applications for the hands-on Bioinformatics
training course
TA-AFADM14
Transcriptome Assembly, Automatic Annotation and Data Mining
are now OPEN. Please have a look at our website here:
http://gtpb.igc.gulbenkian.pt/bicourses/TA-AFADM14/
Course duration: 4 days
Course fee: Euro 320.00
We will have Stefan Goetz and Riccardo Alese Cigliano as instructors.
This course has already been run here several times with a great deal
of success, as revealed by very positive feedback reports and
subsequent recruitment by word of mouth by satisfied attendees.
Course description:
This is a combined course in RNA-seq and functional annotation aimed
at scientists working in next generation sequencing transcriptomics
who want to extract the best possible information from their data. The
course covers all aspects of RNA-seq analysis, from quality control,
to mapping, reconstruction of transcripts and differential
expression. Participants will learn how to deal with RNA-seq data
both in the presence and absence of a reference genome.
The second part of the course is a practical workshop on Blast2GO, the
most popular framework for functional annotation of sequence data.
Participants will learn how to generate de novo functional labels,
such as GO terms and KEGG pathways, for their sequence data and how to
extract relevant information from these annotations, i.e.
visualisation and enrichment analysis using the Gene Ontology. This
part will be based on the use of the Blast2GO application and will
mainly comprise exercises and practical cases. Participants may bring
their own data.
Who should attend? Experimentalists and bioinformaticians working on
EST, NextGeneration Sequencing and microarray design projects,
specially (but not exclusively) of non-model species. No programming
knowledge is required.
Thank you for your continued interest
