BayGenomics Educational Activities

As part of the NHLBI's Program for Genomic Applications, BayGenomics provides a number of education activies. These efforts range from conducting hands-on workshops, supplying on-line tutorials and giving research seminars.

Bioinformatics tutorials on protein sequence analysis includes an extensive set of lectures/exercises, updated periodically to ensure their continued applicability. These will be enhanced with a new set of on-line tutorials targeting beginners with principally clinical interests during winter 2005/spring 2006.
Access current on-line tutorials on protein informatics.
These tutorials are jointly provided by BayGenomics and the UCSF Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics.

GenMapp tutorials
The GenMAPP version 2.0 Tutorial provides a QuickTime animated set of materials to allow users to easily navigate and learn about the software features. Includes an introduction, description of new features, and extensive sections on using GenMAPP and the associated MAPPFinder and MAPPBuilder tools. On-site tutorials are scheduled as users required, providing more extensive training.
Access to GenMapp tutorials.
These tutorials are jointly provided by BayGenomics and the UCSF Gladstone Institutes.

First International Gene Trap Consortium (IGTC) Informatics Workshop
hosted by Baygenomics, April 14-15, 2005, UCSF Mission Bay Campus
Participants from 6 gene trap centers in the US, Canada, Europe, and Japan came together to develop a joint IGTC web site for the use of the scientific community. Presentations from each gene trap group as well as specialty talks on gene trap annotation approaches, outside informatics resources from Ensembl, UC Santa Cruz, NCBI, Jackson Labs, and presentation of a prototype annotation pipeline and web site developed by the Baygenomics Informatics Group as a starting point were given. Workshop attendees discussed the issues and decided on a working plan to make the IGTC a major information resource in the (mouse) gene trapping community.
