Plant Genomes in a Changing Environment

Bioinformatics for Crop Plants

This course will introduce plant biologists to methods and approaches
for analysing the genomic data. During the course participants will learn
about comparative genomics using Ensembl, analyse variation data with
Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor and the European Variation Archive,
and explore the concepts of genome wide association studies (GWAS).
The course is aimed at plant biologists, in particular those with wet-lab
experience needing to learn about methods and approaches for
analysing plant genomic data. It will help those wanting to start basic
comparative genomics, identification of genetic variation and using
public data to interpret new findings.
