Bioinformatics for cytogeneticists and molecular geneticists

18 Mar 2011

Two-day course (with additional free half-day session) on 11-13 May 2011 at The Nowgen Centre

Our newly revised two-day course has been updated to refl ect the exciting new direction of diagnostic genetics in light of recent innovations and Modernising Science Careers.

The programme provides essential training in aspects of bioinformatics for both cytogeneticists and molecular geneticists that reflect the trends towards combined laboratory services and a flexible, multi-skilled workforce.

This course is ideally suited to genetics trainees and established scientists, providing both an introduction to the topic and more challenging content for experienced users. Focusing on practical exercise-based training, the content includes a foundation of essential bioinformatic theory, the basics of tool operation, up to advanced use and the critical evaluation of key tools.

An additional free half-day session on 13 May is also offered by the EMBL Outreach Team for those wishing to gain a more detailed insight into the advanced features of Ensembl.
