APPLICATION CLOSED - PARTICIPANTS HAS BEEN SELECTED

Training course: Intro to Bioinformatics for genomic data mining

Draft agenda 

 

Foreword

The inter EURLs Working Group (WG) has been established by the European Commission with the aim to promote the use of NGS across the EURLs' networks, build NGS capacity within the EU and ensure liaison with the work of the EURLs and the work of EFSA and ECDC on the NGS mandate sent by the Commission. The WG includes all the EURLs operating in the field of the microbiological contamination of food and feed.

Training course objectives:

► Providing an overview of different possible approaches for NGS data analysis,

► Illustrating the basic steps for data analysis (quality check, trimming, assembly, search of genetic features of interest),

► Providing guidelines for cluster analysis,

► Illustrating guidance documents on NGS analysis published by the Inter EURLs Working Group,

► Exchanging experiences among participants and reinforcing networking.

 

After the course, the participants will be able to:

► Choose a solution for NGS data analysis,

► Understand the vocabulary connected to NGS data analysis,

► Perform basic analysis on NGS data (quality check, trimming, assembly, search of genetic features of interest),

► Evaluate and interpret the results obtained,

► Understand the concepts behind different cluster analysis approaches.

 

Please note that the participants are asked to bring their own laptops.

The EURLs selection of the participants is based on the following criteria:

► Training needs of the NRL doing the request (may also be based on performance in PTs),
► Participation in previous training initiatives on the same topics,
► Role of the applicant in the NRL,
► Appropriate basic skills of the applicant for a fruitful course,
► If a given laboratory has several NRL mandates, only one applicant from the same laboratory can participate.

 

EURL reimbursement according to the usual EU Regulations of the selected applicants.
