================================================================
*** ANNOUNCING AN NCBI COURSE: NCBI PowerScripting ***
================================================================
NCBI PowerScripting
The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) presents NCBI
PowerScripting, a 3-day course including both lectures and computer
workshops on effectively using the NCBI E-utilities within scripts to
automate search and retrieval operations across the entire suite of Entrez
databases.
Dates: September 28-30, 2005
Location: Lister Hill Center (Bldg 38A), NLM, NIH, Bethesda, MD
For more information and to apply for the course, see the course web page at
<A HREF="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Class/PowerTools/eutils/course.html">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Class/PowerTools/eutils/course.html</A>
The course is free but an application is required.
Space is limited to 20 participants.
** There are currently only a few places available, so apply now! **
******************************************************************
During the course, participants will learn how to do the following:
* Design and execute complex searches across the 29 Entrez databases
* Implement data pipelines for genomic, proteomic, or microarray analysis
* Create automated searches to keep local databases current
* Create and download customized datasets
* Seamlessly combine local data with NCBI data
* Develop a focused interface to NCBI data
The course is intended for bioinformatics and information specialists who
are interested in accessing NCBI data in an automated fashion. A working
knowledge of NCBI resources and the Perl scripting language is required.
The course consists of a series of lectures and associated computer
workshops over 2 days, followed on the third day by a morning panel
discussion with NCBI programmers, an NCBI tour and an optional afternoon
session for individual consultations. Participants will program in Perl
using the Cygwin LINUX emulation environment on Windows XP laptops. NCBI
will provide all necessary hardware and software.
The course will be held at the NCBI Training Center in the Lister Hill
Center (Building 38A) of the National Library of Medicine on the main NIH
campus in Bethesda, MD.
Participants will be responsible for their own transportation, lodging and
meals. There are numerous hotels in Bethesda, as well as in Rockville and
surrounding areas of Montgomery County. Bethesda also contains a renowned
variety of restaurants that are only a few minutes walk from campus.
Public transportation to the Medical Center Metro stop (Red Line) provides
the most convenient access to NIH. See the course web page above for more
information.
