Workshop on mRNAseq for non-model organisms organized by Titus Brown: May 4–5

Titus Brown is organizing a workshop on 'mRNAseq for non-model organisms'. The workshop is open to everyone, including graduate students, postdocs, staff, faculty, and community members. The workshop will run from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on May 4 and 5, and will take place at 2030 Valley Hall, on the UC Davis campus (map). There is no cost for this workshop. Course description:

This two-day hands-on workshop will introduce biologists to doing de novo transcriptome analysis with khmer and Trinity. The primary focus will be on non-model organisms - organisms with no reference genome and poor gene annotations. The workshop will be eukaryote-focused (poly-A mRNA/large genomes/genes with introns). We will be analyzing a stock data set, and we will be using the Amazon cloud.
