[Gmod-help] Grant sponsored GBrowse tutorial from OpenHelix

[Mary Mangan]

Hello GMOD team-

 

You may be aware that we have developed online tutorial suite on GBrowse.
These materials are introductory in nature, providing awareness and
understanding of the data contents and search types available.  Basic
features of the navigation, search and display options are our focus.  The
suite includes a training movie, slides, handouts, and exercises.

 

We offer this tutorial among our 60 tutorial suites available through paid
subscription.  However, we have recently received funding from NHGRI to
offer a number of model organism database tutorial suites free to the public
in 2009.  GBrowse is one of the tutorial suites that will be offered under
this program.

 

We would like to offer you the opportunity to review the materials before we
make them freely available.  If needed, we can make an updates tutorial
suite before we launch.  If you could review these materials and return a
collection of comments to us by November 28, we can update the materials
with an expected launch in January 2009.  

 

We intend to have outreach around these materials using a number of
strategies.  We hope that this will drive new users to your site, and enable
them to be more effective database users. 

 

There is no cost to you for this.  The funding comes from a supplement to
our NIH grant 9R44HG004531-02A2.  We will be pleased to share usage data
with you if desired.

Please let us know if you have any issues during the review phase.  

 

We hope that you will find this to be a useful opportunity and a benefit to
biomedical researchers all over the world.  

 

We look forward to your response.

 

Best regards,

 

Mary
