This workshop will provide training around the experimental design and multiple applications of Genotyping by Sequencing (GBS) in plants. In addition, detailed computational analysis of GBS data and resources will be explored. Genomic analysis tools for GBS, such as Tassel,…

This course will provide training on using R in genomics applications for crop biodiversity. The first day will cover the basics of biodiversity and R, before analyzing various genomes to assess biodiversity. This will include hierarchical clustering, correlating genomic data…

Bioinformatics is fast becoming an integral component of all biological projects. The deluge of genomic information has also opened up the possibility of asking new questions using only publicly available data and a personal computer. This course will go beyond bioinformatic…

In this course participants will learn the basics of metagenomics, covering experimental design and workflows, moving through to microbiome analysis via metabarcoding and shotgun metagenomics. The course theme will be the use of metagenomics oriented to biodiversity.

Many Latin American countries are hotspots for biodiversity, most of which have been characterized only to a very limited extent. This course aims to provide knowledge on available approaches, methods and tools to perform studies on biodiversity employing modern high-…

This course will provide training on RNAseq data production and interpretation. The course starts with a brief introduction to RNA-seq and discusses quality control issues. Next, we will present the alignment step, quantification of expression and differential expression…

This course will provide an introduction to the technology, data analysis, tools and resources for next generation sequencing (NGS) data.

Topics will be delivered using a mixture of lectures, practical sessions and open discussions. Practical work during the course…

In this course, participants will learn the necessary theoretical background and basic tools of molecular target identification in pathogens and building of compound libraries for virtual screening. We also will introduce general concepts of molecular docking simulations.

The aim of this workshop is to introduce researchers to the field of Chemoinformatics, especially in the areas of Structure-Based Drug Design (SBDD) and Ligand-Based Drug Design (LBDD). Trainees will cover the use of protein, ligand and drug databases, protein modelling,…
