Trainers: Elisabeth Busch-Nentwich, Nancy George, Louisse Paola Mirabueno, Aleena Mushtaq, Gun Antonia Nilsson Lock, Eliot Ragueneau, Ian Sealy, Krishna Kumar Tiwari, Richard White

Overview: The Bioinformatics and functional genomics in zebrafish, which focused on the tools to carry out functional analysis and data visualisation of zebrafish RNA-seq data that has already been mapped to the genome and been analysed for differential gene expression, ran in September 2022.
