<PRE>================================================================
*** ANNOUNCING AN NCBI COURSE: NCBI PowerScripting ***
================================================================
NCBI PowerScripting
The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) presents NCBI
PowerScripting, a 4-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: July 18-21, 2006
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, so apply now!
******************************************************************
During the course, participants will learn how to do the following:
* Post E-utility calls using standard URLs in Perl and SOAP in Python
* Design and execute complex searches across the 31 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. No knowledge of SOAP or Python is assumed.
The course consists of a series of lectures and associated computer
workshops over 3 days, followed on the fourth 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
and Python 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.
Please see the links under &quot;Local Information&quot; on the course web page
above for more information about travel and lodging.
