EMBL-EBI Training

We've been having loads of great feedback for our new online tutorial on antimicrobial resistance. The tutorial was created by our intern, Xena Dyball, and in this blog you can read more about what Xena learned during her time with us: https://lnkd.in/e6iyRBzv Today is Xena's last day with us before she returns to her PhD, and we'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you! It's been wonderful to have you with us for the last 3 months. Take a look at the tutorial that Xena created: https://lnkd.in/e6KfuXwJ #Intern #Internship #AMR #antimicrobialresistance #onlinelearning #sciencelearning #sciencetraining #EMBL #EMBLEBI

Polygenic scores (PGS) offer insights into an individual’s genetic predisposition to certain traits or diseases. Join our upcoming #webinar to learn how to use the PGS calculator for calculating polygenic scores.

This week (18 - 24 November) is World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week. This aims to raise awareness of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and its impact on global public health. There are a number of European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI tools and resources that can be used to investigate AMR. Our new tutorial will take you through some of these resources in more detail: https://lnkd.in/e6KfuXwJ By the end of the course you will be able to: - Discuss the problems linked to AMR - Identify appropriate EMBL-EBI resources and tools for studying AMR - Describe the process of sharing, finding, and using publicly available microbial data - Use some EMBL-EBI resources to investigate microbial data #WAAW #AMR #datascience #publichealth #globalhealth #sciencetraining #sciencelearning #EMBL #EMBLEBI

We're pleased to present our latest training collection, which introduces concepts and resources for exploring the effects of gene-environment interactions on human health: https://lnkd.in/eBbGDYpH This collection is suitable for anyone interested in understanding how interactions between genes and the environment can impact human health. No prior knowledge of bioinformatics is required, but undergraduate level knowledge of biology would be useful. It features relevant human cohort datasets, environmental readouts, and functional studies, and also emphasises the importance of ethical and legal frameworks regarding data privacy, consent, and genetic discrimination, which are crucial in this field. You can access this collection at any time and for free. Human Ecosystems at EMBL Dayane Araújo Ajay Mishra

We are pleased to announce that applications for one of our most popular courses is now open!: https://lnkd.in/exhgtR_w This course takes place in Hinxton, UK and will provide an introduction to metabolomics through lectures and hands-on sessions, using publicly available data, software, and tools. You will become familiar with standardised workflows as well as with the current state of experimental design, data acquisition (LC-MS, MS imaging), processing, and modelling. You will also learn about community standards and sharing in metabolomics, particularly through the use of EMBL-EBI’s MetaboLights repository and Galaxy infrastructure. Financial assistance is available for a limited number of participants on this course, in the form of fee waivers and travel grants. Please see the course website for more information: https://lnkd.in/ePU4J9UJ Make sure you’ve submitted your application by 2 February 2025. #metabolomics #datascience #bioinformatics #MetaboLights #sciencelearning #sciencetraining #EMBL #EMBLEBI

The application deadline is fast approaching for this course that will introduce you to the technology, data analysis, tools and resources used in RNA sequencing:  https://lnkd.in/ebPuYEYa Make sure you’ve submitted your application by 24 November. This virtual course will cover: - High throughput sequencing technologies for RNA-Seq  -Basics of experimental design -RNA-seq file formats -RNA-seq bioinformatics workflow steps following sequence generation -Methods for transcriptomics; QC, mapping, and visualisation tools -Data resources to assist in the functional analysis and interpretation of transcriptomic data -Introduction to de novo approaches (options in the absence of a reference) -Fundamentals of pipeline implementation (with Nextflow) for bulk RNA-seq analysis Data resources covered: -Expression Atlas -g:Profiler -Sequencing repositories: ENA, GEO, SRA We are also able to offer a limited number of registration fee waivers for this course.
