Workshop 2 Genome bio-informatic techniques - Registration closed
(Portugal, Sep 8th - 13th, 2008) at the University of Minho, Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS) , Braga
Final program (posted Aug 27th)

Conference accomodation: Hotel Dona Sofia
Ever increasing resolution and throughput increases the amount of information gained from the experiments and form new challenges for the bio-informatics and statistics. This second training consists of a hands-on computer oriented course focusing on biologist with proven programming skills or (bio-)informaticians with a broad knowledge in genomics and biology. R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics (http://www.r-project.org/) commonly applied in the field of genomics and elementary for a researcher to aid them in studying the human genome. Basic skills in R programming are a required prerequisite. Information gained from the newly developed techniques and genome (-sequencing) projects will require processing within private databases as well as public access databases (e.g. Ensembl.org). Part of the course will therefore include data processing and data warehousing.
The “genome bio-informatic techniques” training course will be held at the University of Minho School of Health Sciences, an innovative Medical School founded in 2001. For this MC-GARD training course the university has state of the art computer training facilities available.
Emphasis/Topics (Post-)genome bioinformatics, genome evolution, translation of research findings for the clinic, cross-species comparisons, deep-sequencing analystics, epigenomics, non-coding RNA discoveries, copy number variations, gene-ontology
Confirmed speakers and trainers: Joel Greshock (Pensylvania, (USA), Dalila Pinto (Toronto, CA), Celine Rouveirol (Paris, FR), Mariano Rocchi (Bari, I), Hanlee Ji (Stanford, USA), Mei-Ling Ting Lee (Ohio, USA); Miguel Rocha (Braga, PT), Esteban Ballestar (Madrid, ES), Josien Haan (Amsterdam, NL), Mark van de Wiel (Amsterdam, NL), Anne Laure Boulesteix (Munich, DE), Outi Monni (Helsinki, FI), Georges Natsoulis (Stanford, USA), Sami Kilpinen (Helsinki, FI), Adam Olshen (New York, USA), Fátima Al-Shahrour (Valencia, ES), Marc Zapatka (Heidelberg, DE) and Marcel Dinger (Brisbane, AU)
