[Gmod-help] RE: [Gmod-gbrowse] GMOD Spring Training Application Deadline January 7

[Mingyun Huang]

Hi, Dave,

Thanks for the information, I applied for the training twice since I am not satisfied with the first statement of interests, I also found I am more interested in GMOD components after I learned more from GMOD website.

I want to state my interests here to show my strong intention to attend training:

Last year, I have used CMAP, pathway-tools and GBrowser, GBrowser is used very often in our lab to show all kinds of data such as RNAseq data, we used it to help identify the events such us alternative splicing.  I also used pathway-tools to do pathway prediction.

I hope I can explore more aspects of tools which we are using, such us showing individual reads in Gbrowser.
 
I am considering to integrate other GMOD componets on our developing websites. 

My other interests (but not limited) are:

The relationship among all kinds of GMOD components.
The limitations and future directions of the existing tools. I read the paper that JBrowser has some problems with IE.
Logistics behind the tools and schema of poplar databases such us Chado and BioSQL. 

Due to my limited time and limited knowledge about GMOD, it will benefit me a lot to attend GMOD taning and get important help and views from experienced developers.

Thanks and wish you a joyful new year too!

Applications are now being accepted for the 2011 GMOD Spring Training
course (http://gmod.org/wiki/2011_GMOD_Spring_Training), a five-day
hands-on school aimed at teaching new GMOD administrators how to
install, configure and integrate popular GMOD components. The course
will be held March 8-12 at the US National Evolutionary Synthesis
Center (NESCent) in Durham, North Carolina, as part of GMOD Americas
2011.

These components will be covered:
   * Apollo - genome annotation editor
   * Chado - biological database schema
   * Galaxy - analysis and data integration framework
   * GBrowse - genome viewer
   * GBrowse_syn - synteny viewer
   * GFF3 - genome annotation file format and tools
   * InterMine - biological data mining system
   * JBrowse - next generation genome browser
   * MAKER - genome annotation pipeline
   * Tripal - web front end to Chado databases

The deadline for applying is the end of Friday, January 7, 2011.
Admission is competitive and is based on the strength of the
application, especially the statement of interest. The 2010 school had
over 60 applicants for the 25 slots. Any application received after
deadline will be automatically placed on the waiting list.

The course requires some knowledge of Linux as a prerequisite. The
registration fee will be $265 (only $53 per day!). There will be a
limited number of scholarships available.

This may be the only GMOD School offered in 2011. If you are
interested, you are strongly encouraged to apply by January 7.
