NABI Computational Biology Workshop 2018 | 12-14 March 2018

NABI Computational biology workshop 2018, focus on Plant Genome Analysis, genome assembly and annotation, Big-data mining, association genetics and computational biology etc.




Date and Venue:



12th, 13th and 14th March 2018 at National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute (NABI), Mohali.



Objective:



The NABI Computational biology workshop 2018 will be organized at the National Agri- Food Biotechnology Institute, (NABI), Mohali, India during 12-14 March 2018.  Taught by world leaders in computational biology, this workshop provides research talks followed by relevant hands-on sessions in state-of-the-art computational biology and genome analysis/mining techniques. A range of topics from basic bioinformatics to advanced big-data mining, genome assembly, supercomputing enabled annotation acceleration, genome-wide association analysis, genome and epigenome regulation etc. will be covered. Research talks detailing applications of computational biology techniques to address specific biological questions will be part of the workshop.


Research talks will be followed by hands-on sessions via connectivity to dedicated state-of-the-art supercomputing HPC cluster of NABI. Invited experts will be available (impromptu) during the workshop for consultation and advice to improve participants research project experiment design and analysis strategy.
