The Bioinformatics Workshop - Udine, Italy
This course will provide an overview of data resources and tools available at EMBL-EBI. It will be delivered using a mixture of lectures and practical computer sessions based on biomedical case studies and public domain data.
Audience
This course is aimed at PhD students and early-stage researchers across Italy who wish to develop their knowledge of the data resources and tools available at EMBL-EBI. The course materials will be tailored to the host institute to provide a biomedical focus. The practical exercises use web-browser-based tools and requires no prior knowledge of bioinformatics programming.
Modules and Resources
The course will comprise the following EBI training modules:
- Transcriptomics Data and Tools from the EBI: ArrayExpress, Gene Expression Atlas
- Interactions & Pathways: IntAct, Reactome
- Small Molecule and Enzyme Resources: ChEBI, The Enzyme Portal, ChEMBL
Learning Objectives
After this course you should be able to...
- Browse and access a range of data types from leading public repositories
- Use EMBL-EBI tools to aid data analysis
- Appreciate the use of these data resources and tools in the context of translational biomedical biology
