This workshop focuses on current developments in plant data resources at transPLANT partner sites, with a special reference to plant genomic variation data, re-sequencing projects and GWAS analyses. The workshop will provide a basic tutorial on SNP calling and analysis as well as hands-on introductions into partner resources and tools and explain how to obtain, search and use this data.
Audience
The workshop is targeted at (experimental) biologists and breeders who have the need to use these resources and concepts in everyday work to interpret own observations and plan new research objectives. No prior (informatics) knowledge or skills are required. Familiarity with using browser-based tools and/or Linux operating systems would be helpful however.
