DESCRIPTION:This hands-on virtual course will introduce participants to met
 hods and approaches for analysing genomic data from common livestock speci
 es\, including cattle\, pig\, chicken\, and sheep. During the course parti
 cipants will learn about the use of sequencing methods in the field of liv
 estock genomics\, resequencing genomes\, locating variant data\, annotatin
 g genomes\, and carrying out GWAS approaches. The course will also cover t
 he use of public EMBL-EBI resources such as [Ensembl](https://www.ensembl
 .org/index.html)\, [EVA](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/eva/)\, and [ENA](https://
 www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/home) to progress in your research\, as well as 
 to submit and share your discoveries with the community\, and will present
  relevant use cases in the field. The course will enable you to harness th
 e wealth of publicly available farmed animal datasets held in EMBL-EBI pub
 lic archives and utilise our free services and tools to for example\, iden
 tify genetic variants associated with disease\, identify genetic markers 
 associated with desirable breeding traits\, or use Ensembl Variant Effect 
 Predictor (VEP) tool to predict the functional impact of genetic variants.
  EMBL-EBI is committed to support the livestock research community and ind
 ustry to improve animal health and welfare\, increase productivity\, and r
 educe environmental impact.\n\n**Virtual course**\n\nParticipants will lea
 rn via a mix of pre-recorded lectures\, live presentations\, and trainer-l
 ed computational exercises. Live sessions will be delivered using Zoom wit
 h additional support and asynchronous communication via Slack.\n\nPre-reco
 rded material may be provided before the course starts that participants w
 ill need to watch\, read\, or work through to gain the most out of the act
 ual training event. In the week before the course\, there will be a brief 
 induction session. Computational practicals will run on EMBL-EBI's virtual
  training infrastructure\, meaning participants will not require access to
  a powerful computer or install complex software on their own machines.\n\
 nParticipants will need to be available during the course hours\, maximum 
 09:00 – 18:30 GMT each day of the course. Trainers will be available to
  assist\, answer questions\, and provide further explanations during these
  times.
