Register now for the 2019 Evergreen Phage Bioinformatics Workshop

The 2019 Evergreen Phage Bioinformatics Workshop will consist of three tracks: Genomics with Galaxy & WebApollo; Genomic annotation with PATRIC; and Viromics (metaviromics). Participants are invited to register for one of these tracks on Saturday (4 PM – 9PM, 4h of work, with a break for supper), and/or for one of these as repeated on Sunday (8:30 to- 12:00, 3 ½ h). Each track will consist of an introductory lecture followed by hands-on sessions where participants can work on example datasets.

Observers are also welcome in each of the 3 sessions. (Note: Participants need to work on their own laptops; no computers will be provided.

We will plan on having a van pool for people arriving Saturday morning. For people taking part in the Saturday workshop, there will be an extra $10 fee from Evergreen for using their facilities.

The 3 tracks are:

1. Genomics – Annotation: with PATRIC (Ramy Aziz & PATRIC people): Phage annotation using RAST and PATRIC. This track is suitable for beginners.

2. Genomics - Phage genomics: with Galaxy and WebApollo (Jason Gill): This track will cover the start-to-finish process of whole-phage genomics, including DNA sequencing, assembly, end determination, annotation, and comparative genomics using the user-friendly interfaces Galaxy and WebApollo. This is suitable for both beginner and intermediate users. There will be a limited number of participants for people doing their own genomes, but the 2 hour lecture is open to all, the hand-on portion can handle about 15 people working on their own genomes.

3. Viromics -- (Alejandro Reyes & Evelien Adriaenssens): introduction to sequence pre-processing, clean-up, and assembly using command-line tools; visualization of data. Suitable for users who know how to navigate a command-line environment.
