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.

IPAG: International Plant & Animal Genome XXVIII

The Plant & Animal Genome Conference (PAG) is designed to provide a forum on recent developments and future plans for plant & animal genome projects. Consisting of technical presentations, poster sessions, exhibits and workshops, the conference is an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and applications on this internationally important project.
