The Workshop on Comparative Genomics will consist of a series of lectures, demonstrations and computer laboratories that cover various aspects of comparative genomics. The course is designed for established investigators, postdoctoral scholars, and advanced graduate students. Admission is limited and highly competitive, with admissions decisions determined by an international committee.
Topics to be covered include:
- Sequencing technologies: short-read sequencing technologies of various types
- Assembly and alignment: basic analyses in de novo and resequencing studies
- Gene finding and annotation: functional description of genomic data
- Genome characterization: gene content; genome structure; synteny; SNPs; copy number variation (CNV)
- Assigning sequences to taxonomic groups in metagenomic studies: moving from sequences of unknown taxa to known taxa
Venue: Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
Application forms and complete schedule are available online.
