TrainMALTA Summer School on Epigenomics: from library preparation to integrative data analysis
TrainMALTA will be hosting its 3rd Summer School which will cover aspects of transcription factor binding, chromatin modifications, chromosome conformation, DNA methylation and nucleosome positioning, and the integration of this data type with other High Throughput Sequencing (HTS) data, such as gene expression and variation.
It will be held between 23 and 27 July 2018 at the Centre for Molecular Medicine and Biobanking, University of Malta, Msida, and will be open to all University of Malta faculty and research staff, as well as postgraduate students.
This event is being sponsored by the HORIZON 2020 TWINNING Project TrainMALTA in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, UK and KU Leuven, Belgium.
The focus of this Summer School will be on imparting the basics of ChIP library preparation as well as the ChIP-seq data analysis workflow. It will be both lecture-based and practical-based.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
- learn about ChIP which includes 3-days hands-on laboratory practice
- prepare ChiP-seq libraries on their own samples
- gain hands-on practice on handling ChIP-seq data, including ChIP-seq integrative analysis
- attend and participate in talks delivered by speakers experienced in the cutting-edge field of epigenomics.
The summer school is limited to 25 people for the lab-based sessions, and to 25 participants for the bioinformatics sessions.
