Blog Series: WoG, Cesky Krumlov: Day 8: Transcriptomics

Where did days 6 and 7 go??? 

Lost inevitably in the chaos of RStudio Lab tutorial, Python Lab Tutorial, Cesky Krumlov Castle touring and wine tasting followed by copious amounts of wandering, eating, more wandering, snow ball fights, freezing feet, beer drinking and sleeping.

The tutorials are well written, given there was no lecture for these, I've simply linked the tutorials...go nutz.

Remember I've discussed python in previous blogs in the programming prep blog for instance and linked Tyghe's website for further tutorials using python--the resources are at your fingertips, have at it! Feel free to direct python related questions to Tyghe's blog or if you happen to know Daniel McDonald from the Univ. of Colorado feel free to harass him as well...I will not link his email in case he hunts me down for giving you all his information and challenges my husband to a python duel--coding at dawn!

Now...on to week 2!!!

Blog Series: WoG, Cesky Krumlov: "One *ome to rule them all...?" and other anecdotes from this evening

Apologies to the Lord of the Ring die hards who are probably outside my door with torches and pitch forks...but truly this evenings discussion really brought some things to light and well...tossed other things into the dark...

Ah Science...

Blog Series: WoG, Cesky Krumlov; Day 1: Mammalian Genomes

Dr. Chris Ponting
MRC Functional Genomics Unit
University of Oxford

Topic: Mammalian Genomes

This afternoon's session started off with a topic I'm pretty far from, human and mammalian genomics. I've worked hard in my career to stay away from diploid genetics--I like the simplicity of viruses and prokaryotes by comparison. Today's talk was in 3 parts focusing on the human and mouse genomes, functional DNA and transcript maps and the future.
