Group projects
A major element of this course is a group project, where participants are placed in small groups to work together on a challenge set by trainers from EMBL-EBI. This allows people to explore the bioinformatics tools and resources available in their area of interest and apply them to a set problem, providing participants with hands-on experience relevant to their own research.
View details of the projects, including scenario overviews, preparation materials, datasets and ideas to help you try out the projects for yourself:
- Genome variation across human populations
- Interpreting functional information from large scale protein structure data
- Modelling cell signalling pathways
- Networks and pathways
For details on technical requirements for the projects, please see the Technical help sheet.
