Thousands of genome sequences are now available, and the amount of data on genomes continues to increase. This presents enormous opportunities to make discoveries of biological and medical interest, but also requires new approaches. Confirmed speakers: o Prof MARK BLAXTER, University of Edinburgh. "Comparative Nematode Genomics". o Prof GEOFF BARTON, University of Dundee. "A tale of three small RNAs". o Prof DANNIE DURAND, Carnegie Mellon University. "The Evolution of Multidomain Families". o Prof NEIL HALL, University of Liverpool. "Fast forward Genetics using second generation sequencing". o Dr MATTHEW HEGARTY, Aberystwyth University. "Genomic mergers: the consequences of hybridisation and polyploidy in Senecio". o Prof IAN KORF, University of California Davis Genome Center. "Intron mediated enhancement". o Prof ALAN ARCHIBALD FRSE, Roslin Institute. "Comparative farm animal genomics - from synteny to synergy". o Dr ZEMIN NING, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. "Cancer genome assemblies and variation detection between normal and tumor human cells". o Prof ZIHENG YANG FRS, University College London. "Population genomics and human-chimpanzee speciation". o Prof ANDY WATERS, University of Glasgow, "Translation of Translation: Comparative genomics yields practical insights into sexual development in malaria parasites".

Students successfully completing the assessments will receive a certificate from The University of Manchester. Like all of our distance courses, it is delivered in a Virtual Learning Environment that allows us to extend the classroom into the web. We use a range of tools to support our online teaching activities. Teaching and learning are focussed around tutor-supported exercises. In this course, participants work together on the interpretation of their results, before receiving feedback from the course tutor. Week 1 Introduction to distance learning Bioinformatics as a knowledge-based discipline Weeks 2 and 3 Introduction to the sequence databases Quality, redundancy and annotation Sequence retrieval exercise and group discussion Weeks 4 and 5 Nucleic acid sequence analysis Weeks 6 and 7 Independent research and assessment Weeks 8 and 9 Sequence alignment and database search Weeks 10 and 11 Protein function prediction. Weeks 12 and 13 Protein structure prediction Practical exercise and group discussion Weeks 14 to 16 Independent research for the second assessment You will find information on all our courses, including fees and a link to the online application form, here : http://octette.cs.man.ac.uk/bioinformatics/index.html If you have any questions, or need advice on the module options, please contact Heather.Vincent from manchester.ac.uk From sara.mankoc from gmail.com Fri Aug 28 03:54:34 2009 From: sara.mankoc from gmail.com (=?ISO-8859-2?Q?Sara_Manko=E8?=) Date: Fri Aug 28 10:12:17 2009 Subject: [Molecular-evolution] TIPDATE Message-ID: <75b234670908280154h70255e9eg74bace372ba331a4@mail.gmail.com> Dear Sir, I would like to tray your tipdate on my EAV sequences.
