EMBL-EBI
Exploring Biodiversity through Bioinformatics
Date: 9 - 12 April 2019
Many Latin American countries are hotspots for biodiversity, most of which have been characterized only to a very limited extent. This course aims to provide knowledge on available approaches, methods and tools to perform studies on biodiversity employing modern high-throughput sequencing approaches. After the course, participants will have learnt how to select the appropriate sequencing approach and experimental setup, how to access, control quality and clean data, and to analyze and interpret results using available bioinformatics tools.
Venue: International Potato Center (CIP) Avenida La Molina 1895
Region: La Molina
Country: Peru
Target audience: This course is aimed at wet-lab researchers at any career stage within Latin America who are working with and/or generating their own plant genomic and/or microbial genomic/transcriptomic datasets. Basic computational or previous bioinformatics experience is required for this workshop, and an undergraduate level knowledge of biology would be an advantage. A number of travel fellowships are available for this course - early-stage researchers and researchers from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply for CABANA travel fellowships. You can apply for travel fellowships via the course application form.
Capacity: 30
