Computational Biology Workshop:
Structural and Functional Genome Annotation (March 7-10)
The workshop will cover basic concepts and walk through several strategies on a high-performance computing cluster. The goal is to familiarize attendees with the basic concepts and details of computational approaches for genome annotation. All code required to complete the full analysis will be provided in a public GitHub repository, and session recordings will be available to all participants after the workshop.
The workshop will take place over 4 days for three hours each day.
Dates: March7-10 (4 days)
Time: March 7: 8:30am-12:00pm , March 8-10: 9:00am-12:00pm
Location: Online
Cost: $350 (UConn affiliates including UConn Health)
$483 (External Participants)
Workshop schedule:
Day 1: Introduction to Linux and high performance computing.
Day 2: Introduction to high throughput sequencing, genome assembly validation, file format basics, and repeats.
Day 3: Alignments, RNA-Seq based annotation with BRAKER2, and functional annotation;
Day 4: MAKER annotation, long read annotation with BRAKER2, and evaluation.
