This three day, hands-on computer laboratory bioinformatics course is designed to provide an introduction to the use of the latest version of programs produced by Rodger Staden's group for the management of large-scale DNA sequencing projects. The course is very practical. Participants will be guided through exercises during which they will process a substantial set of sequence data obtained from an ABI automated DNA sequencers. The output from other makes of automatic sequencer may also be processed by these programs, as can data generated by manual sequencing methods. The programs are also suitable for small scale projects. In the course of the three days we will cover setting up of a new sequencing project, pre-processing data generated by automatic sequencers, creating sequencing project databases, automatic assembly of batches of reads into contigs, and checking and editing contigs. Checking will include examination of the traces for conflicting readings, searches for repeated sequences and analysis of the relative positions of readings derived from the same template. Instructors: James Bonfield, MRC-LMB David Judge, Cambridge University Cost: $900.00 for a three day lecture and computer course. Registration fee includes continental breakfast and catered lunch. Hotel accommodations are not included in the registration fee. Multiple Attendance Discount are available.
