DESCRIPTION:Genome annotation is crucial to defining the function of genomi
 c sequences. This process typically involves a round of automated annotati
 on followed by manual curation. Manual curation allows you to visualise yo
 ur annotations so you can understand what your organism looks like\, and t
 hen to manually refine these annotations along with any additional data yo
 u might have. This process is typically performed collaboratively as part 
 of a team effort.\n\nApollo is a popular tool for facilitating real-time c
 ollaborative\, manual curation and genome annotation editing. In this work
 shop we will learn how to use Apollo to refine genome annotations using ex
 ample data from an _E. coli_ strain. We’ll focus on the basics like gett
 ing data into Apollo\, viewing evidence tracks\, editing and adding struct
 ural and functional annotation\, visualising the results and collaborating
  on genome annotations.\n\nThis workshop will make use of a training insta
 nce of  the new [Australian Apollo Service](https://apollo-portal.genome.e
 du.au/). This service enables Australian-based research groups and consort
 ia to access Apollo and host genome assembly and supporting evidence files
  for free. This service has been made possible by The Australian BioCommon
 s and partners at QCIF and Pawsey. To learn more about the Australian Apol
 lo Service you can [join our webinar](https://www.biocommons.org.au/events
 /apollo-launch) on 29 September 2021.\n\n**Trainers**\n\nDr Anthony Bretau
 deau (French National Institute for Agriculture\, Food\, and Environment)\
 , Dr Helena Rasche (Erasmus Medical Center\, The Netherlands)\, Dr Sarah W
 illiams (QCIF)\, Dr Tiffanie Nelson (Australian BioCommons)\n\n**Date/Time
 **\n\n3-6pm AEDT/ 2-5pm AEST/ 2:30-5:30pm ACDT / 12-3pm AWST\, Wednesday 1
 7 Nov 2021\n\n**Learning outcomes**\n\nBy the end of the workshop you shou
 ld be able to:\n\n1. Upload data to Apollo\n2. Visualise your genome and a
 ssociated automated annotations \n3. Manually annotate genomes after autom
 ated annotations have been performed\n4. Evaluate and visualise annotated 
 genomic features\n5. Use Apollo to collaborate on genome annotation\n\nThi
 s workshop is based on [training materials](https://training.galaxyproject
 .org/training-material//topics/genome-annotation/tutorials/apollo/tutorial
 .html) developed for the Galaxy Training Network and the [Apollo User Guid
 e](https://genomearchitect.readthedocs.io/en/latest/UsersGuide.html#).\n\n
 **Who the workshop is for**\n\nThis workshop is for Australian researchers
  who have or will work on genome annotation and manual curation/editing as
  part of their projects.\n\nYou should be familiar with the concepts of ge
 nome annotation and have\, or soon have\, genome annotation files that req
 uire manual annotation and curation. \n\nYou do not need access to a perso
 nal or institutional instance of Apollo for this workshop. Access to a tra
 ining instance of the Australian Apollo Service will be provided.\n\n**How
  to apply**\n\nThis workshop is free but participation is subject to appli
 cation with selection. **_Applications close at 11:59pm AEDT\, Thursday 4 
 November 2021_**.\n\nYou must be associated with an Australian organisatio
 n and provide an appropriate organisational email address for your applica
 tion to be considered.\n\nApplications will be reviewed by the organising 
 committee and all applicants will be informed of the status of their appli
 cation (successful\, waiting list\, unsuccessful) by Friday 12 November 20
 21. Successful applicants will be provided with a Zoom meeting link closer
  to the date.\n\n**[Apply here](https://apollo-2021.eventbrite.com.au/)**\

 (https://www.qcif.edu.au/) with the assistance of a network of facilitator
 s from the national[ Bioinformatics Training Cooperative](https://www.bioc
