[ensembl-announce] Ensembl API workshop 30 Nov - 2 Dec 2011 Cambridge UK

[bert at ebi.ac.uk]

Hello all,

>From Wednesday November 30th till Friday December 2nd 2011 the Ensembl
team will give another Ensembl API workshop at the Genetics Department of
the University of Cambridge in the UK.

Description:

The Ensembl project provides a comprehensive and integrated source of
annotation of mainly vertebrate genome sequences. This 3-day workshop is
aimed at researchers and developers interested in exploring Ensembl beyond
the website. The workshop covers the core, compara, variation and
functional genomics (regulation) databases and APIs. For each of these the
database schema and the API design as well as its most important objects
and their methods will be presented. This will be followed by practical
sessions in which the participants can put the learned into practice by
writing their own Perl scripts. There are no costs for the workshop.

Requirements:

IMPORTANT: This workshop is NOT intended to teach you either Perl or
molecular biological and genetic concepts! To be able to attend you should
be able to code in Perl and be familiar with basic molecular biology and
genetics. A basic knowledge of Ensembl is advantageous.
