Description

The first international Workshop on Comparative and Regulatory Genomics in Plants will be held at VIB - Ghent University, Belgium from April 13 to 15, 2011.

This 3-day workshop will cover the application of different bioinformatics tools to study plant biology. Lectures will introduce the basic concepts of integrative sequence analysis and will be combined with practical sessions.  The workshop is in English and open to undergraduate students and PhDs interested in gene and genome evolution, gene regulation & large-scale biology in plants.

A series of step-by-step exercises will be used to guide applicants through the different tools and data sources (incl. gene family analysis and pathway evolution, detection of orthologous genes, reading phylogenetic trees, gene colinearity and genome organization, GO enrichment analysis, coexpression analysis and transcriptional regulation).
