>to demonstrate how to accomplish common tasks.
>Electronic copies of detailed handouts for each session will provide
>step-by-step instructions and additional information about each example.
>
>All workshops are taught by NCBI staff and will consist of 1.5 hours of
>instruction followed by a Q & A period.

>be able to present in person at UC Davis, as in previous years.
>Instead, you are invited to attend all sessions via webinar, using your
>own computer or perhaps collaborating with your department or research
>group to view together.

Author: Jonathan Eisen

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis View all posts by Jonathan Eisen
