EuroFAANG AQUA-FAANG workshop: methods to use and reuse the AQUA-FAANG data and Ensembl resources to advance science
This one and a half day workshop will provide detailed training on methods to use and reuse the wealth of data generated by the EuroFAANG AQUA-FAANG project. AQUA-FAANG aims to improve understanding the genome function and usage of genotype-to-phenotype prediction in the six most important European farmed fish species (EUROPEAN SEABASS | GILTHEAD SEABREAM | RAINBOW TROUT | ATLANTIC SALMON | COMMON CARP | TURBOT). The workshop will primarily focus on the comprehensive and integrated annotation of these six species by the Ensembl genome browser. The course will also include a deeper dive from the Ensembl analysis teams into gene annotation and regulation, and demonstrations of the specific analyses and research conducted by AQUA-FAANG scientists.
Who is this course for?
Industry stakeholders and academic researchers looking to utilise AQUA-FAANG data and analysis.
A number of spaces are reserved for EuroFAANG stakeholders and EU animal agriculture industry organisations.
What will I learn?
Learning outcomes
After the course you should be able to:
- Utilise Ensembl to view genomic regions and manipulate the view to add features they are interested in
- Employ Ensembl to view homologous genes and genomic regions, functional elements involved in gene regulation, and their activity in different cell types and timepoints
- Understand and explore the wealth of EuroFAANG data with Ensembl tools to utilise in research or industry settings
- Have a deeper understanding of the research being conducted by AQUA-FAANG researchers
