    The Institute for Genome Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine is offering a free prokaryotic genome annotation workshop for those interested in training in genomics. Each session is 2 days long and there are three sessions scheduled for this year.

    Day 1 includes instruction on all elements of the IGS prokaryotic annotation pipeline including:
    • Gene finding
    • Similarity searching
    • Gene model curation
    • Evidence evaluation for protein functional annotation
    • The Gene Ontology system
    • Data storage in a relational database
    • The Annotation Engine Service
    Day 2 focuses on the use of the Manatee manual annotation tool. The day begins with a detailed demonstration of the features available within Manatee. This is followed by instructor led group annotation of several proteins. Finally, attendees engage in hands-on exercises where they annotate several proteins on their own. The instructor then annotates these proteins with the whole group so that attendees can review the annotations they made.

    Computers are provided for use during the workshop. In addition, all attendees will receive a CD containing workshop presentations, tutorials, and supplementary materials.

    There are only 25 spots available for each session, so register soon if you'd like to attend.
