Dear all,<br>
<br>
the first international <b>Workshop </b>on <b>Comparative and
Regulatory Genomics in Plants</b> will be held at VIB - Ghent
University, Belgium from April 13 to 15, 2011.<br>
<br>
This 3-day workshop will cover the application of different
bioinformatics tools to study plant biology. Lectures will introduce
the basic concepts of integrative sequence analysis and will be
combined with practical sessions. The workshop is in English and
open to undergraduate students and PhDs interested in gene and
genome evolution, gene regulation & large-scale biology in
plants.<br>
<br>
A series of step-by-step exercises will be used to guide applicants
through the different tools and data sources (incl. gene family
analysis and pathway evolution, detection of orthologous genes,
reading phylogenetic trees, gene colinearity and genome
organization, GO enrichment analysis, coexpression analysis and
transcriptional regulation).<br>

Best regards,<br>
<br>
the scientific committee,<br>
