 1ZY-E33Mw263pfBaXMsQ/viewform  Course content Genome annotation is the pr
 ocess in which loci of interest in a genome are identified\, both in struc
 ture and function. The structural part includes identifying the number and
  size of exons and introns\, size of UTRs\, and number of isoforms. The fu
 nctional annotation\, in turn\, focuses on inferring the biological role o
 f different transcripts. The course is aimed at researchers that are invol
 ved in on-going or upcoming genome projects and wish to deepen their under
 standing of the various forms of data and computational steps required to 
 achieve a comprehensive annotation. The focus of the course will be on non
 -model eukaryote organisms\, and in particular the structural annotation o
 f protein coding genes. We will use de novo gene finders\, protein alignme
 nts and RNA-seq data to infer the structure of genes\, and show how to com
 bine these different lines of evidence to get the most stable and informat
 ive annotation. We will also infer the function of these genes using simil
 arity to known proteins as well as the presence of functional domains. Top
 ics covered will include: ·       Project planning ·       G
 ene finders ·       Protein alignment ·       RNA-seq assemb
 ly ·       Combined structural annotation using Maker2 ·     
   Functional annotation ·       Procaryote annotation ·      
  The NBIS annotation service Entry requirements Participants must be comfo
 rtable navigating a linux shell and execute programs from the command line
 . Without this knowledge\, it will be impossible to participate in the com
 puter exercises. Previous experience from working with NGS data (genome as
 sembly\, transcriptome assembly\, SNP calling) is a plus. Applicants are a
 lso encouraged to bring their own laptops\, but there will be computers to
  use for participants unable to do so. Due to space constraints for the co
 mputer exercises\, there are a maximum number of allowed participants. If 
 we receive more applications\, participants will be selected based on seve
 ral criteria. Selection criteria include correct entry requirements\, moti
 vation to attend the course.
