Introductory Bioinformatics
our entry level course with a soft introduction to NGS data analysis
Course date: December 14th - December 18th 2015
Now edited:
The Applications for the Introductory Bioinformatics course, second
instance in the 2015 Programme, are now OPEN.
IMPORTANT DATES for this Course
Deadline for applications: December 9th 2015
Latest notification of acceptance: December 10th 2015
Course date: December 14th - December 18th 2015

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.
Important NOTE:
This is one of our most popular courses. It usually gets full very quickly.
Applications are approved and accepted in order of arrival and we only
have 20 seats.
Best wishes
