In this course we will explore the use of modern bioinformatic tools that allow researchers to use pangenomes as their reference system when engaging in studies of organisms of all types. Such techniques will aid any researcher working on organisms of high genetic diversity or on organisms lacking a high-quality reference genome. This course targets all researchers interested in learning about an exciting paradigm shift in computational genomics.

The BioData.pt | ELIXIR PT infrastructure and the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC) are proud to announce that a Data Carpentry Workshop, with a special focus on Genomics data, will be held at the IGC on October 15th and 16th 2018.

Forum BioData.pt: Value Creation for Healthcare System’s Genomics Data will join experts from healthcare, research, bioinformatics and data management, and ethics fields to share and discuss their views and their institutions priorities towards data management and the creation of value for citizens and society. There will be time to engage with the panel of experts to share your ideas and concerns.
