BIOF-GLYC 031 - Unraveling the Interplay of Genes, Proteins, and Glycans through Bioinformatics
Course Description Academic Programs at the NIH (FAES) and the GlyGen team is pleased to offer a one day, in-person, workshop at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda campus on June 10, 2024.
Overview
The workshop will introduce participants to “GlycoBioInformatics Tools” and provide hands on exercises on GlyGen: Computational and Informatics Resources for Glycoscience.
The workshop is comprised of two sessions. In the morning, the instructors will share an overview of glycobiology and glycomics and will explore common bioinformatics tools that are used to analyze genes, proteins and glycans. In the afternoon, you will be guided by the instructors on how to use GlyGen and explore a variety of functions through hands-on exercises.
This workshop will be team taught by the GlyGen Team.
