Database Tools for Biologists
Pre-conference workshop
28 October 2009, 2-6pm

Learn how GMOD tools can help you visualise, annotate, and manage your genomic data. BMOD is a collection of ineroperable, open source software components that can help you integrate and share biological data. GMOD tools are used in a wide range of organisations, from major model organism databases (FlyBase, WormBase, TAIR, ...) to single lab installations.

This half-day, pre-conference workshop will introduce the GMOD project and many GMOD tools for:

• Visualisation: GBrowse, JBrowse, GBrowse_syn, CMap, ...
• Data Management: Chado, BioMart, InterMine, ...
• Annotation: MAKER, DIYA, Apollo, Textpresso, ...

GBrowse, a popular genome browser, will be demonstrated with a worked example. At the end of this workshop participants will understand which GMOD tools may be useful to them, and have an understanding of the effort required to use them.
