ABOUT ACCOMMODATION

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Today, a large number of open source tools are available related to different areas of Bioinformatics such as sequence analysis, genome analysis, gene finding, structural analysis, docking, molecular modeling etc.

Open source software is software that can be freely used, changed, and shared (in modified or unmodified form) by anyone. These tools have their source code freely available for further modification and enhancement. These tools can be redistributed to anyone under open source licenses like GNU General Public License (GPL). This open source helps to increase quality and usefulness of software via community review.

This workshop will enrich your knowledge with open source Bioinformatics software available for the analysis of biological sequence, Genome and Protein Structure. The objective of the program is to provide participants with an insight into tools through guided practical training. The workshop will feature morning lectures, demonstrations with evening hands-on session in the lab.
