{% comment %} HEADER

Edit the values in the block above to be appropriate for your workshop. If the value is not 'true', 'false', 'null', or a number, please use double quotation marks around the value, unless specified otherwise. And run 'make workshop-check' before committing to make sure that changes are good. {% endcomment %}

{% comment %} Check DC curriculum {% endcomment %}

{% if site.carpentry == "dc" %} {% unless site.curriculum == "dc-astronomy" or site.curriculum == "dc-ecology" or site.curriculum == "dc-genomics" or site.curriculum == "dc-socsci" or site.curriculum == "dc-geospatial" %}

It looks like you are setting up a website for a Data Carpentry curriculum but you haven't specified the curriculum type in the _config.yml file (current value in _config.yml: "{{ site.curriculum }}", possible values: dc-astronomy, dc-ecology, dc-genomics, dc-socsci, or dc-geospatial). After editing this file, you need to run make serve again to see the changes reflected.
{% endunless %} {% endif %}

{% comment %} Check SWC curriculum {% endcomment %}

{% if site.carpentry == "swc" %} {% unless site.curriculum == "swc-inflammation" or site.curriculum == "swc-gapminder" %}

It looks like you are setting up a website for a Software Carpentry curriculum but you haven't specified the curriculum type in the _config.yml file (current value in _config.yml: "{{ site.curriculum }}", possible values: swc-inflammation, or swc-gapminder).

About Ensembl

Ensembl provides an interface and an infrastructure for accessing genomic information, including genes, variants, comparative genomics and gene regulation data, covering over 300 vertebrate species. Its sister project, Ensembl Genomes, consists of five sub-portals (bacteria, fungi, protists, plants, and invertebrate metazoa) which contain data for over 2,000 eukaryotic (including wheat, barley, tomato and brassicas) and over 30,000 prokaryotic genomes.

Ensembl Outreach

The workshop will be delivered by Louisse Paola Mirabueno, who completed her Bachelor's degree in Genetics and Cell Biology at Dublin City University, and graduated with an MPhil. at the University of Reading. Louisse joined the Ensembl Outreach team in January 2022. The Ensembl Outreach team and Ensembl are part of the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), who provide open-access resources and training to researchers around the globe.

Learning Objectives

  • Navigate Ensembl using the web browser platform.
  • Access main data types in Ensembl: genomes, genes, genetic variation, regulatory features and comparative genomics
  • View genomic regions and manipulate the view to add features.
  • Explore information about genes and their sequences.
  • Analyze genomic variants and associated phenotypes and your own variation data using the Variant Effect Predictor (VEP).
  • View homologous genes and genomic regions.
  • View functional elements involved in gene regulation and their activity in different cell types.
  • Export gene data in bulk using BioMart.

{% comment %} SCHEDULE

Show the workshop's schedule.

Small changes to the schedule can be made by modifying the schedule.html found in the _includes folder for your workshop type (swc, lc, or dc). Edit the items and times in the table to match your plans. You may also want to change 'Day 1' and 'Day 2' to be actual dates or days of the week.

For larger changes, a blank template for a 4-day workshop (useful for online teaching for instance) can be found in _includes/custom-schedule.html. Add the times, and what you will be teaching to this file. You may also want to add rows to the table if you wish to break down the schedule further. To use this custom schedule here, replace the block of code below the Schedule <h2> header below with {% include custom-schedule.html %}. {% endcomment %}

{% comment %} Edit/replace the text above if you want to include a schedule table. See the contents of the _includes/custom-schedule.html file for an example of how one of these schedule tables is constructed. {% endcomment %}

{% if site.pilot %} The lesson taught in this workshop is being piloted and a precise schedule is yet to be established. The workshop will include regular breaks. Please contact the workshop organisers if you would like more information about the planned schedule. {% endif %}
