DESCRIPTION:The introduction to Jalview course is aimed at PhD students and
  post-doctoral researchers who have little or no experience with the creat
 ion and analysis of multiple sequence alignments and their exploration in 
 the context of predicted and observed 3D structures. It's also a great opp
 ortunity for more experienced users to refresh their knowledge and learn a
 bout the latest features in Jalview 2.11.3.\n\nThis course takes place ove
 r two afternoons on **4th and 5th October 2023** at the University of Dund
 ee School of Life Sciences' Small Lecture Theatre\, held in partnership wi
 th the [School's PhD program](https://www.dundee.ac.uk/life-sciences/phds)
 . The course is free of charge\, but since spaces are limited\, priority w
 ill be given to new PhD students affiliated with the University of Dundee 
 and other Scottish universities. \n\nEach of the two sessions consists of 
 a brief introduction followed by a series of short talks and sessions base
 d on [Jalview's hands-on exercises](/tutorial/exercises/). On Wednesday\, 
 we will cover Jalview's core capabilities: creation\, editing\, analysis a
 nd visualisation of alignments linked with phylogenetic trees\, and Thursd
 ay will focus on using Jalview's web services for protein secondary struct
 ure and disorder prediction\, and visualising 3D structures from EMBL-EBI 
 and AlphaFoldDB.\n\n**Date and Time:** 1pm - 5pm on 4th and 5th of October
 \, 2023\n\n**Who should attend:** Research students and academics working 
 on biomolecular sequence structure and function. \n\n**What you need to br
 ing:** This is a hands-on introductory course. You will need a laptop and 
 the ability to connect to EduRoam in order to access Jalview\, its web ser
 vices\, and the course materials.\n\n\n\n**Instructor:** James Procter (Ja
 lview Coordinator\, Division of Computational Biology)\n\n**Before you com
 e:** You can save time during the workshop by downloading and installing J
 alview on your laptop. We also recommend you familiarise yourself with Jal
 view by watching the following videos:\n\n* [Navigating the Jalview interf
 ace](https://youtu.be/QwsFVQx3W8I)\n* [Loading sequences and alignments in
 to Jalview](https://youtu.be/Ndq9XuoDBto)\n* [Saving sequence alignments a
 nd projects in Jalview](https://youtu.be/xT4gKV6F_Vk)\n* [Jalview's contex
 t menus](https://youtu.be/NN-EFVn8euk)\n\n**Relevant papers:** The first s
 ession is focused on Jalview’s core workflow for creating multiple seque
 nce alignments\, analysing them and producing high-quality figures for pub
 lication. This was described in [Procter et al. 2021](https://link.springe
 r.com/protocol/10.1007/978-1-0716-1036-7_13)). For background on Jalview's
  capabilities\, we also recommend reading the [original Jalview 2 paper](h
 ttps://academic.oup.com/bioinformatics/article/25/9/1189/203460).
