Access to Genes and Genomes with Ensembl-Biomart

Tuesday, November 15th 2011
Teacher: Giulietta Spudich, European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI)



Course Poster

The Ensembl project provides a comprehensive and integrated source of annotation of mainly vertebrate sequences, with other species available in www.ensemblgenomes.org. This workshop offers  participants the possibility of gaining hands-on experience in the use  of the Ensembl Genome Browser and provides them with the necessary  background information. Primarily targeted at wetlab researchers, a  combination of hands-on exercises along with presentations will lead the  scientist through tools and annotation he/she may be able to use in the  course of biological research.

  • 9:00 Introduction   
  • 9:15 Worked example (walk-through of main pages of Ensembl)   
  • 10:45 Coffee break

Access to Genes and Genomes with UCSC  Genome Browser

Tuesday, November 30th 2010
Teacher: Osvaldo Graña, Bioinformatics Unit (CNIO)



Course Poster

The UCSC Genome Browser resource contains the reference (or official)  public DNA sequences and working draft assemblies for human and a large  collection of other genomes. There are a number of tools within it that  provide access to the sequences themselves, and many other useful genome  features to add context to the genomic information. Researchers can use  this site to find genes and gene predictions, expression information,  SNPs and variations, cross-species comparative data, and more.
