Workshops and Classes

• Bioinformatics Classes at UM

Short courses in bioinformatics analysis are available on the MCBI web site .

Classes are most often held in the summer, although other times can be requested. Topics include "Sequence analysis" and "Using NCBI resources"

Typical Summer Class offerings in collaboration with the Bioinformatics Program are: Short course #1 – Computational genome analysis, genome annotation Short course #2 – Computational genome analysis, gene expression analysis Short course #3 – Proteome Informatics and Pathways Informatics Short course #4 - Everything you ever wanted to know about SNP’s Mini course #5 – Intro to PERL programming Mini course #6 – Exploratory data analysis with R

All summer classes are available to corporate and academic customers. Dates for the classes will be posted in mid April.

• NCBI classes (UM, MSU)

MCBI is collaborating with the UM library to bring customers from Michigan commercial groups and smaller Michigan colleges and community colleges to a free NCBI training class at UM in the Fall, “A Field Guide to GenBank and NCBI Molecular Biology Resources”. NCBI mini-courses are also offered over the three-day session, and business customers will have input into which mini-courses will be chosen. Dates for this class will be posted in May.

MSU also schedules the NCBI Field Guide course, typically in late winter or early spring.
