European Bioinformatics Institute–RIKEN Joint International Hands-on Training in Bioinformatics for Researchers: 'The Bioinformatics Roadshow'
The RIKEN Omics Science Center (OSC) in Yokohama, Japan, will hold a joint international training course entitled 'The Bioinformatics Roadshow' in collaboration with the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) on 8–9 September 2011.
Objectives :
The purpose of the roadshow is to train experimental biologists in how to make the most of some widely used biological databases such as Ensembl and the FANTOM resourses. Experts from both EBI and RIKEN OSC will be presenting and holding hands-on practical sessions. Applicants are screened and accepted based on suitability and motivation.
Hosted by :
RIKEN OSC and EBI
Summary :
The course gives an introduction to widely used bioinformatics resources from EBI and the RIKEN OSC. The format will be presentations as well as hands on exercises.
