This package contains presentations and other training material given at the AllBio Plant and Pathogen Bioinformatics training course, held at the European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton, United Kingdom, Tuesday, July 8, 2014 - Friday, July 11, 2014. The course was aimed at giving an introduction to researchers wishing to work in the plant-pathogen interactions area, covering major database resources and basis data analysis techniques. The aims of the course were to teach participants how to browse and access a range of data types from leading public repositories; use bioinformatic tools to explore plant and pathogen-related biological data; discuss the benefits and limitations of various bioinformatic techniques; and assess the purpose of specific analyses in a wider context. We would like to thank all presenters for their contributions and their willingness to further distribute their material via Goblet.
