ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Bioinformatics tools and web resources have become an integral part of professional lives of human geneticists. This workshop is organized as a part of diamond jubilee celebrations of Kasturba Medical College, Manipal. The workshop aims to provide a hands-on experience on University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) Genome Browser, a widely used web interface. In addition, the participants will have demonstrations on use of bioinformatics tools related to next generation sequencing, genomic microarray, mutation analysis and protein modeling. The workshop has excellent faculty from USA, UK and India. Both basic and advanced topics in the area of medical genetics will be discussed with ample time to work on computers and for interactions.
