UCSC Genome Browser Workshop, December 7-8, 2015

This workshop is co-hosted by the UC Davis Bioinformatics Training Program and the Data Intensive Biology Training Program.

Instructors: Dr. Robert Kuhn and Angie Hinrichs, UCSC

General Information … The UCSC Genome Browser (http://genome.ucsc.edu/) is a powerful tool for interacting with genome assemblies of many organisms. This workshop will introduce you to the wealth of data contained in the browser and related databases, and will allow you to integrate and compare results of your genomic and transcriptomic experiments.

Who should attend? … Prior workshop participants have included faculty, post docs, grad students, staff, and industry researchers. There are no prerequisites.

Where is the workshop? … It will be held in Gladys Valley Hall on the UC Davis campus and will run from 9am to 5pm on Monday Dec. 7 and Tuesday Dec. 8.

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
