Conference on programmatic access to biological databases, Cambridge, UK
9 May 2011 - 9 May 2011
United Kingdom
A conference on programmatic access to biological databases will take place from 9 to 13 May 2011 in Cambridge, UK.
Biological databases are libraries of life sciences information, collected from scientific experiments, published literature, high-throughput experiment technology, and computational analyses. They are an important tool for scientists researching a range of biological phenomena from the structure of biomolecules and their interaction, the whole metabolism of organisms and more.
This event will be an opportunity for bioinformaticians and biological researchers looking to develop data analysis pipelines or access data in an automated manner for integration into their own applications. Principal session topics will include:
- an overview of public domain biological databases at the European Bioinformatics Institute;
- principles of web services, how they work and how to find them;
- integrating data from multiple sources;
- programmatic access to a variety of bioinformatic analysis tools;
- real-life use cases.For further information, please visit: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/training/handson/course_110509_progjava.html(opens in new window)
