Genome Annotation Workshop 2022

FULLY BOOKED - This 3-day course will help to provide scientists with an overview of eukaryotic genome annotation approaches, covering advances in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies, transcriptome assembly, best practice guidance for building gene models utilising short and long read sequencing data or cross species proteins, how to integrate and assess different gene models and create a publication/release ready gene set.

Advanced Python for Biologists 2022

This Advanced level workshop is ideal for researchers and technical workers with a background in biology and a basic knowledge of Python, to develop bigger or more complicated programs and increase skills and knowledge about the language, including object-oriented approaches to programming.

Data exploration with Python 2022

This workshop is ideal for researchers and technical workers with a background in biology and a basic knowledge of Python, to work with large, complex datasets, mine them for biological insights, and create visualizations to display the results.
