| Keywords: | Genetic research/engineering - Genome analysis - Human genetics |
| Details: | The Genome Access Course is an intensive two-day introduction to bioinformatics and will address the following topics: * Sequence Resources and Databases * Sequence Comparisons * Gene Prediction * Sequence Variation * Genome Analysis * Protein Analysis & Proteomics * Phylogenetic Analysis The course is broken into modules designed to give a broad overview of a given topic, with ample time for examples chosen by the instructors (see detailed curriculum at the bottom of this page). Each module will be in three parts, consisting of a discussion of theory and methods, coverage of software and web resources, and use of selected tools with examples (including those supplied by the students). The modular design allows the instructors to tailor the presentation to the interests of the students. The core of the course will cover the manipulation and analysis of sequence information. Students are encouraged to supply problem sets and sequences of interest to the trainers for possible incorporation as examples in the modules. Materials will be available on the web and students can continue to ask questions of the trainers as they apply what they have learned in their individual endeavors. The curriculum of The Genome Access Course has been developed in conjunction with staff at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Centre and the European Bioinformatics Institute (Hinxton, UK) who separately are teaching a parallel series of courses in the UK (see the Open Door Workshops). The course will commence promptly at 9 am on the first day of the course and end in the late afternoon on the second day. Applications to the course are open to all on a first-come-first-served basis, subject to basic eligibility requirements. The course will be held at the Laboratory's newly opened Genome Research Center at Woodbury located seven miles south of the main Laboratory campus. Each student will be provided with a PC laptop with wireless modem for the duration of the course. Lunch and coffee breaks will be provided at the Genome Research Center, while housing and an evening reception and dinner will be provided at the main laboratory. Ample parking is available at the Genome Research Center, and transportation will be provided between the two campuses at set times. |
