DOE Joint Genome Institute
Microbial Genomics
& Metagenomics
(MGM) Workshop
Walnut Creek, California
The U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) is offering three five-day workshops on Microbial Genomics and Metagenomics during 2008. All three workshops will cover the same material. Each will include two days of intensive seminars and three days of hands-on tutorials. Our goal is to provide you with training in microbial genomic and metagenomic analysis and demonstrate how the cutting-edge science and technology of DOE JGI can enhance your research.
Remaining Workshop Dates:
May 19 - 23, 2008 (registration closed)
September 15 - 19, 2008 (registration closed)
Tutorials
The workshops will offer tutorials for the following tools:
IMG | IMG/M | IMG-ER | IMG-EDU | VISTA | GREENGENES | ARB
Registration
Since these are hands-on workshops, participation for each is limited to 40 attendees (graduate students, postdocs, and faculty or staff scientists). To register for any of the workshops, submit your application online from the registration page.
Fee
The workshops are provided to the community free of charge. Starting with the September workshop, however, there will be a $100 registration fee, which will cover the cost of meals (breakfast and lunch each day).
