> Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic
>
> 9 - 21 January 2011

> The Workshop on Comparative Genomics consists of a series of 
> lectures, demonstrations and computer laboratories that cover various 
> aspects of comparative genomics focusing on next-generation sequencing 
> data. Faculty are chosen exclusively for their effectiveness in 
> teaching theory and practice in comparative genomics. Included among 
> the faculty are developers and other experts in the use of computer 
> programs and packages such as AUGUSTUS, Ensembl, GMOD/GBrowse, MEGAN, 
> MIRA, and Scripture who provide demonstrations and consultations. 
> The course is designed for established investigators, 
> postdoctoral scholars, and advanced graduate students. Scientists with 
> strong interests in the uses of short-read sequence data, analytical 
> methods, comparative structure of genomes, SNP detection and 
> analysis, genome visualization tools and related areas are encouraged 
> to apply for admission. Lectures and computer laboratories total ~90 
> hours of scheduled instruction. Admission is limited and highly 
> competitive, with admissions decisions determined by an international 
> committee. No programming experience is required.
>
> Topics to be covered include:
>
> - Sequencing technologies: short-read sequencing technologies of 
> various types
> - Assembly and alignment: basic analyses in de novo and 
> re-sequencing studies
> - Gene finding and annotation: functional description of genomic data
> - Genome characterization: gene content; genome structure; synteny; SNPs
> - Assigning sequences to taxonomic groups in metagenomic studies
>
> - Evolutionary genomics
>
> - Population genomics
>
> 2010 Fee: 1800 USD. Fee includes opening reception and 
> mid-course dinner, but does not include other meals or housing. 
> Special discounted pricing has been arranged for hotels, pensions and 
> hostels.
>
> Offered in partnership with the Graduate Research School in Genomic 
> Ecology (GENECO) http://www.geneco.se/
>
> For more information and online application see the Workshop web site -

> _http://www.molecularevolution.org/workshops/WCG_
> _
> _The Workshop on Molecular Evolution is also being offered 
> immediately after the Workshop on Comparative Genomics.
