Mon 31	Bioinformatics: Nowomics - Track the latest data and papers relevant to your research Finished 10:30 - 12:00 Department of Genetics, Room G12 Nowomics - Access to the latest data and papers relevant to your research Nowomics is a new website to help biologists stay up to date with the latest data and papers relevant to their research. Try it here. Nowomics tracks new papers and many types of data in online repositories. You ‘follow’ the genes and processes you work on to see a Twitter-like news feed of new papers, annotation, interactions, curated comments and more. For each gene you can also include information from orthologues and related genes directly in your news feed. Data are currently included for human, mouse, rat, fly and plant. This short workshop will show you how to use the Beta version of Nowomics to find the latest information for genes & keywords, how to set up your personalised news feed and configure email alerts. We’ll also demonstrate new portals to help researchers working on Drosophila or Arabidopsis find the latest and most popular papers.

Tue 1	Bioinformatics: Ensembl API Workshops (1 of 4) Finished 09:30 - 17:00 Department of Genetics, Room G12 This workshop is aimed at researchers and developers interested in exploring Ensembl beyond the website. The workshop covers the Core (Day 1), Variation (Day 2), Functional Genomics (Regulation) (Day3), and Compara (Day4) databases and APIs. Each database schema and API design will be presented in association with practical sessions in which the participants will write their own Perl scripts. Further information concerning course content is available. This course is comprised of 4 one day sessions. The first Core API session (or equivalent experience) is a mandatory prerequisite to the other 3 sessions. Please specify which of the optional sessions you wish to attend when booking. The default is "all three of them". Participants are requested to give us a little information about their background & requirements by registering here. The course fee, for those participants required to pay, will be £100 independent of the number of sessions attended. The course timetable can be viewed here.
