Course Overview
This course will provide participants with an introduction to EMBL-EBI data tools and resources for exploring genetic variation. The workshop will include a mixture of tutorials and hands-on sessions covering a number of key resources to both find and analyse variation data.
Audience
This workshops is for researchers who wish to learn more about EMBL-EBI resources for exploring variation data. No previous bioinformatics experience is required, however an undergraduate level knowledge of biology would be an advantage.
Learning outcomes
After this course you should be able to:
- Access and explore a range of appropriate genetic variation resources
- Use these resources to retrieve relevant variant information resources
- Apply the information you have discovered in your research
