Feb/03 Fri 12:00PM-02:00PM 14N-132 DIRC, bring your laptop

Enrollment: Unlimited: Advance sign-up required
Sign-up by 02/01
Prereq: See Eligibility

There are extensive genomic data available in public databases and these data are readily accessible using resources such as the UCSC Genome Bioinformatics tools, the Broad Institute’s Integrative Genomics Viewer and cBioPortal. This hands-on session will demonstrate some common and powerful workflows that are possible with these applications including bulk sequence extraction methods, powerful genomic-range overlap queries and the sharing and visualization of large datasets.

Eligibility: MIT researchers affiliated with the Koch Institute, the Biology Department, the Center for Environmental Health Sciences or the Department of Biological Engineering.
