DESCRIPTION:This course provides an introduction to the use of bioinformati
 cs in biological research\, giving you guidance for using bioinformatics i
 n your work whilst also providing hands-on training in tools and resources
  appropriate to your research.\n\nYou will initially be introduced to bioi
 nformatics theory and practice\, including best practices for undertaking 
 bioinformatics analysis\, data management\, and reproducibility. \n\nYou 
 will be required to review some pre-recorded material for their group proj
 ect prior to the start of the course.\n\n**Group projects**\n\nA major ele
 ment of this course is a group project\, where you'll be placed in small g
 roups to work together on a challenge set by trainers from EMBL-EBI and ex
 ternal institutes. This allows you to explore the bioinformatics tools and
  resources available in your area of interest and apply them to a set prob
 lem\, providing you with hands-on experience relevant to your own research
 . The group work will culminate in a presentation session involving everyo
 ne on the final day of the course\, giving an opportunity for wider discus
 sion on the benefits and challenges of working with biological data.\n\nGr
 oups are mentored and supported by the trainers who set the initial challe
 nge\, but the groups will be responsible for driving their projects forwar
 d\, with all members expected to take an active role. Groups are pre-organ
 ised before the course\, and all group members will be sent some short “
 homework” in preparation for your project work prior to the start of the
  course.\n\nBasic outlines of the projects on offer this year are given be
 low. In your application\, you must indicate your first and second choice 
 of project\, based on which you think would benefit your research most. No
 t all projects may be offered\, and final decisions on which projects will
  be run during the course will be made based on the number of applicants p
 er project.\n\nMost of the projects cover mammalian data sets\, however\, 
 in many cases\, the methods and approaches taught are transferable to data
  from various species.\n\nThe projects are currently under development.
