Course description:The Ensembl project (http://www.ensembl.org) provides a comprehensive and integrated source of annotation of mainly vertebrate genome sequences. This 2-day workshop offers participants the possibility of gaining lots of hands-on experience in the use of the Ensembl genome browser but also provides them with the necessary background information. The workshop is primarily targeted at wetlab researchers. The workshop consists of the following modules. Most modules consist of a presentation, followed by the opportunity to do exercises. Participants are encouraged to bring problems/questions about their research that can be addressed during the workshop using Ensembl. |
Course Pre-requisites:General knowledge of molecular biology / genomics and a familiarity with web browsers. |
