Description
Geneious is a DNA, RNA and protein sequence alignment, assembly and analysis software platform, integrating bioinformatic and molecular biology tools into a simple interface. The workshop will provide a brief introduction to the basics and then move on to more advanced/novel features. Thus, it will be assumed that participants have a basic knowledge of Geneious.
The training docs for the workshop can be found here
You will need to attend the workshop with a recent version of Geneious (5.6 or later) installed on your own laptop. If you do not have a Geneious license there is a unrestricted 14-day free trial available. Download Geneious here.
- pairwise alignment (both DNA and Protein alignments, covers dotplot interpretation, sequence manipulation, etc)
- multiple alignment (both DNA and Protein alignments, covers using the different algorithms, and using Geneious’s visualisation tools to find patterns of homology)
- neighbour joining (will mention other available algorithms)
- interpreting the tree view and distance matrix view
- whole genome reference mapping with paired-end data, and variant calling
- primer design, primer testing, primer databases, extracting PCR products
- setting up and connecting to a LIMS database
- entering reactions
- searching
- binning trace files by quality
- trimming and sequence assembly
- taxonomy verification
- reporting and troubleshooting
The workshop is FREE, but you need to register with Claire Stephens by 3 April 2013.
Location
ANU | Sciences Teaching Building (136) | COS Seminar Room 2 (top floor)
Upcoming events in this series
Carlos Melian, EAWAG, Switzerland, will lead a workshop exploring the theoretical foundations and examples of network and multilayer network analysis for biological and ecological systems.
Join keynote speakers Nic Rawlence, University of Otago and Emilio Mármol Sánchez, University of Copenhagen for an exploratory workshop for researchers interested in generating and utilising historical datasets.
Jessica Storer and Rachel O’Neill from the University of Connecticut will give an overview of assembling repetitive parts of the genome, how to check assemblies and curate and annotate the genome for transposable elements.
Henry North from the University of Cambridge will present a hands-on workshop focused on the application of whole-genome population genomics to monitoring and managing invasive and endangered populations.
Paula Riccardi from the Bavarian State Collection of Zoology will introduce a framework for contextualising large volumes of imaging and DNA barcoding data into taxonomic revisions and species descriptions.
