*** ANNOUNCING AN NCBI COURSE: NCBI PowerScripting ***
|
|
================================================================
|
|
|
|
** NEW Expanded 4-day format ** Now including sections covering SOAP **
|
|
|
|
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. We have expanded the course format from 3 days to 4
|
|
days, and more details about this are described below.
|
|
|
|
Dates: January 24-27, 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:
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
*** NEW EXPANDED FORMAT ***
|
|
Based on several requests, we are adding an additional day of
|
|
instruction that will be inserted between days 2 and 3 of the previous
|
|
3-day format. This new day will cover accessing the E-utilities using
|
|
the SOAP interface as implemented in the Python language. No experience
|
|
with Python or SOAP is assumed or necessary. More information about the
|
|
SOAP interface is at
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
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
|
|
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.
