From apache@animalgenome.org Mon Oct 10 09:47:55 2016 From: Jan Gorodkin <gorodkin@rth.dk> Subject: Faang Europe, Hackathon Nov 24-25, Copenhagen Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2016 08:34:21 +0200 To: Multiple Recipients of FAANG <faang@animalgenome.org> Dear all on behalf of FAANG Europe I'm happy to announce: *Hackathon and beyond:** **Animal genome analysis and non-coding RNA annotation** *Copenhagen November 24-25, 2016 FAANG Europe COST Action invites the community to a joint effort on comparative genome analysis and annotation of non-coding and structured RNA in farm animal. The work will be initiated in Copenhagen, but is expected to continue interactively in a combination of TC calls and subsequent hackathons. The long term goals are: 1) comparative genomic analysis to map conservation and syntenic regions 2) annotation of known and de novo structured RNAs 3) comparative transcriptomic analysis for non-coding transcripts The specific aim of the hackathon is to initiate the work by • Identifying which genomes and transcriptomes to work on • Complete the basic quality assessment • Identify the relevant non-coding RNA databases Anyone interested can apply, but we expect commitment to continue the collaboration beyond the hackathon. Furthermore, applicants should possess strong and relevant scripting skills. Priority will be given to candidates matching the backgrounds of the three listed aims. FAANG Europe COST Action provides travel and accommodation support (up to 710 EUR) for 14 participants in the Copenhagen Hackathon. Further costs at subsequent hackathon should be covered by the participants themselves. To apply for participation the applicant should fill out the attached sheet and send it to faang |
