What?
The Ensembl project provides a comprehensive and integrated source of 
annotation of mainly vertebrate genome sequences. This 4-day workshop is 
aimed at researchers and developers interested in exploring Ensembl with 
Perl. 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 the 
most important objects and their methods will be presented. This will be 
followed  by practical sessions in which the participants can put 
theoretical learning into practice by writing their own Perl scripts.

Best wishes,
The Ensembl Team
