Apply Now for the 2019 Fungal Pathogen Genomics Course
October 30, 2018
Fungal Pathogen Genomics is an exciting week-long course that provides experimental biologists working on fungal organisms with hands-on experience in genomic-scale data analysis. Through a collaborative teaching effort between the web-based fungal data mining resources FungiDB, EnsemblFungi, PomBase, SGD/CGD, MycoCosm, and JGI, students will learn how to utilize the unique tools provided by each database, develop testable hypotheses, and analyze various ‘omics’ datasets across multiple databases.
Daily activities in Fungal Pathogen Genomics will include both individual and group exercises, lectures on the bioinformatics resources provided by various databases, and presentations by distinguished guest speakers. Examples of what you will learn at Fungal Pathogen Genomics include:
- RNA-seq and SNP analysis and visualization via EuPathDB Galaxy workspace in FungiDB
- Identification of secondary metabolite clusters in MycoCosm
- Finding virulence genes and annotation in Ensembl
- Accessing and analyzing genetic interactions in CGD/SGD
- Discovering taxonomic conservation or phenotypes in PomBase
The application deadline for the Fungal Pathogen Genomics workshop to be held May 7-12, 2019 at the Wellcome Genome Campus in Hinxton, Cambridge, UK is February 7, 2019.
