Many Latin American countries are hotspots for biodiversity, most of which have been characterized only to a very limited extent. This course aims to provide knowledge on available approaches, methods and tools to perform studies on biodiversity employing modern high-…

This course will provide training on RNAseq data production and interpretation. The course starts with a brief introduction to RNA-seq and discusses quality control issues. Next, we will present the alignment step, quantification of expression and differential expression…

This course will provide an introduction to the technology, data analysis, tools and resources for next generation sequencing (NGS) data.

Topics will be delivered using a mixture of lectures, practical sessions and open discussions. Practical work during the course…

In this course, participants will learn the necessary theoretical background and basic tools of molecular target identification in pathogens and building of compound libraries for virtual screening. We also will introduce general concepts of molecular docking simulations.

Please note this course was postponed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and will take place virtually in 2021.

This course will introduce crop biologists to methods and approaches for analysing crop genomics data for genotyping. During the course participants will…
