The course will provide an introduction to de novo assembly, with a hands on introduction followed by in-depth analysis of the key steps in the process. The course will consist of a mixture of conceptual lectures, methodological lectures and hands on sessions, as well as group activities and discussions.

Our goal is to help scientists become more productive by teaching them basic computing skills like program design, version control, testing and task automation.

This meeting is focused on researchers who are either at the beginning of their studies or have moved onto a new subject area and will be analysing RNAseq expression data as part of their studies.

The course provides an introduction to Single Cell Genomics. It covers several aspects such as the experimental design, cell sorting and processing for production of quality samples for sequencing, generation of sequencing data, assessing the quality of sequence data, data visualisation, differential expression analyses and identifying Copy Number Variants at the single cell level.

The annual ELIXIR-UK All Hands brings together people working at ELIXIR-UK consortium member institutions for this two-day meeting, which for 2018 is hosted by Birmingham University.

The Earlham Institute (EI) will be hosting the event: ‘Scientific Advances in Agriculture’ in conjunction with Agri-Tech Week 2018 on Monday 5th November on the Norwich Research Park. Experts at the Earlham Institute will be showcasing technologies such as next generation sequencing, high performance computing, in-field technology and the DNA Foundry to address agricultural issues to support farmers, breeders, growers, researchers and the wider industry.

This workshop will bring together researchers from the whole of the Norwich Research Park community, including businesses, research institutes, and UEA. Our aim is to create a platform to discuss innovative applications of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and associated genome technologies to agricultural, medical and environmental sciences by bringing together suppliers and practitioners of the latest technologies with those wishing to use them.

Recent developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming many aspects of technology and engineering. This workshop will explore how such approaches could be used in biological research.

Under the Researcher Links scheme offered within the Newton Fund, the British Council and South African National Research Foundation will be holding a Bioinformatics and Wheat Genomics workshop in South Africa.

Creating a shared vision for a research Cyberinfrastructure (RCI) in Colombia

In this workshop, we intend to improve the participants’ understanding of learning principles, training techniques and best practices for materials preparation.

Two days of talks and discussion on the development and application of new technologies to decode life at the single cell level.
