Hi Charles,<br><br>The ABRF meeting sounds like a great venue for discussing GBrowse. Our experience is that many people struggle with how to visualize the sequence once they have it. <br><br>Scott Cain or myself would be the two most likely people to speak at this meeting. We'll discuss this and get back to you next week.<br>
<br>Thanks,<br><br>Dave C.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 1:49 PM, Charles Nicolet <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cmnicolet@ucdavis.edu">cmnicolet@ucdavis.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Greetings.<br>
<br>
My name is Charlie Nicolet, I direct the DNA Technologies and Expression<br>
Analysis cores at the UC Davis Genome Center. I am involved with an<br>
organization called ABRF, Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities,<br>
which is comprised of core managers, industry people, and other researchers<br>
interested in technological applications to life science questions. I'm<br>
co-organizing a workshop on bioinformatics and next-gen sequencing and we<br>
thought having someone talk about the use of browsers to visualize genomic<br>
data would be a topic of broad interest. In particular we were interested<br>
in having someone talk briefly about Gbrowse, but then lead a hands on<br>
tutorial uploading, eg, a gff file and playing with the various features in<br>
the browser (we would have everything set up, the speaker would not be<br>
responsible for that). This year's meeting is in Sacramento and the<br>
workshop would be Friday March 19th. Travel and one night's hotel can be<br>
provided but no honorarium is offered. Please let me know if someone in<br>
your organization could participate in this. If not, any leads on<br>
individuals who might be suitable would also be greatly appreciated.<br>
Thanks for your attention,<br>
<br>
Charlie<br>
