"Bioinformatics and Comparative Genome Analyses practical Course"



(http://www.pasteur.fr/~tekaia/BCGA2013.html): University of La Reunion,

Saint-Denis - France, 6 – 18 May, 2013.



The course will be organized within the frame of Run-Emerge objectives in

order to train in La Réunion local, regional and international young

scientists and PHD students in Bioinformatics and Genomics.



The course will focus on reviews on advanced fundamental algorithms and

methods used in Bioinformatics and their applications in genome studies.



The course will involve genome comparisons, evolutionary analyses,

phylogenomics and statistical methods needed in RNAiseq data analyses and

Next Generation sequencing methods. The course program includes a series of

lectures related to recent hot topics in Bioinformatics and Genome studies.



Practical sessions in a Linux environment will involve Unix and Perl

scripting. Participants are expected to be familiar with this environment.

.



The course is aimed at motivated Ph.D students and Post-Doctoral Researchers

in Academic Institutions, with background in Mathematics, Statistics,

Biology or Computer Science and who are involved in Bioinformatics and

Genomes studies.

Selection of participants will be based on their background, running

research projects and on expressed motivations.

Selected academic students will have free accommodation and meals and are

expected to pay for their travel expenses. Selected students from the south

western Indian Ocean region will be offered travel grants.



Candidates are advised to complete carefully the application form together

with a "one-page CV" (see: http://www.pasteur.fr/~tekaia/BCGA2013.html
