Functional Annotation of ANimal Genomes (FAANG) Project
— A coordinated international action to accelerate Genome to Phenome

Bioinformatics Training Workshop @ PAG2020

Functional Annotations of Animal Genomes Workshop
Notice: For participants do not meet the prerequisites, the workshop will start at 2:00PM January 8, 2020; while for advanced participants who have basic knowledge of and experience with UNIX command line and R programming language are expected to start at 8:00 AM January 9, 2020. To prepare yourself for the workshop, you can teach yourself some basic Unix and R via the resources provided by the appendix.
