Ensembl browser workshops Western US January 2011

The Ensembl Outreach team is currently looking into the possibility of giving some 1-day Ensembl browser workshops in the Western US in the period directly before or after the Plant and Animal Genome Conference in San Diego, which takes place from 15-19 January 2011. Hosting institutions would only have to pay the instructor's expenses (accommodation and subsistence) and would share the domestic travel costs, but we would not otherwise charge for the workshops.

For more information about our browser workshops, please have a look here.

Interested? Please contact me for more details at bert@ebi.ac.uk.

Ensembl Events in August 2010

Ensembl Genomes browser workshops

The Ensembl project has focused on vertebrate organisms for the past ten years. Since Jan 2009, a sister project has formed, Ensembl Genomes, extending analysis to invertebrates, protists, plants, fungi and bacteria.

We do now offer separate workshops on both Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes. Though the browsing is similar, specifics can vary. For example, the genes in most non-vertebrate genomes are determined using different rules than in vertebrate genomes.

So, if you are thinking of hosting a browser workshop and you know your audience will mainly consist of researchers working on non-vertebrate genomes, the Ensembl Genomes browser is the right choice for you!

For more detailed information on the Ensembl Genomes browser workshops please have a look here.
