GMOD Malaysia 2014 offers an introduction to, and training in, the
bioinformatics software offered by the Generic Model Organism Database
project <http://gmod.org/> (http://gmod.org). Over three days, participants
will learn about GMOD's free, open-source tools for visualising, storing,
and disseminating genetic and genomic data. These include:

   - Galaxy <http://gmod.org/wiki/Galaxy> analysis pipeline (
   http://gmod.org/wiki/Galaxy)
   - GBrowse <http://gmod.org/wiki/GBrowse> and
JBrowse<http://gmod.org/wiki/JBrowse> genome
   browsers (http://gmod.org/wiki/GBrowse;http://gmod.org/wiki/JBrowse)
   - InterMine <http://intermine.org/> data warehouse (http://intermine.org)
   - MAKER and MAKER-P <http://gmod.org/wiki/MAKER> genome annotation
   pipelines (http://gmod.org/wiki/MAKER)
   - Tripal <http://tripal.info/> website generator and database interface (
   http://tripal.info)
   - Chado <http://gmod.org/wiki/Chado> database schema (
   http://gmod.org/wiki/Chado)


Instruction is by experienced instructors and developers with deep
knowledge of the tools and their applications.

By the end of the course, participants will have hands-on experience of
setting up and using core components needed for a modern genomics project.

GMOD Malaysia is being held after the Plant Genomics Congress, and will
have a plant-specific bias.

More information and application form on the GMOD
website<http://gmod.org/wiki/GMOD_Malaysia_2014>

GMOD Malaysia 2014 is made possible by the extremely generous support
of National
Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) <http://nescent.org/> (
http://nescent.org) and the NESCent Ambassador program. NESCent promotes
the synthesis of information, concepts and knowledge to address
significant, emerging, or novel questions in evolutionary science and its
applications. NESCent supports research and education across disciplinary,
institutional, geographic, and demographic boundaries. The NESCent
Ambassador Program is NESCent’s primary international outreach program, and
is supported by a three-year grant from the NSF. GMOD is very grateful to
be a beneficiary of this generous program.
