Hi all,

Please check out these upcoming workshops that may be relevant to your
research interests. Feel free to reach out to Michele if you have any
questions.

Hi Ciara,

This is Michele, I do not know if you remember me, I used to be a grad
student at the school of Plant Sciences a couple of years back (I am still
in the WhatsApp group lol).

After I graduated, I took a position as Data Scientist for CyVerse/Data
Science Institute <https://datascience.arizona.edu/> at the U of A.

The Data Science Institute runs the DataLab at the U, and I run the
Bioinformatics
workshop series
<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fua-datalab%2FBioinformatics%2Fwiki&data=05%7C02%7Cciarag%40email.arizona.edu%7Ccf4fcd0c3c8344d64c5808dcfd0f482f%7C5ee35505eb8e4929937d645df5013288%7C1%7C0%7C638663489270628174%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=eh%2BeUkCc99IZyoAYAPkiteFX55w561Gpfltvwda1NX4%3D&reserved=0>,
which ended last week.

However, there are 4 more workshops that are going to start next week (2 on
Nov 12th and 2 on Nov 19th) that I think may be of interest to the grad
students of the school of Plant Science.

I am reaching out to you because I've been told you are the current
Graduate Student Advisor/Coordinator and may be able to spread the
following announcement to the other grad students (or whoever may be
interested) — if this is not true, please let me know who to reach out to.

Here's the announcement:

In collaboration with the Wheeler and Vitali labs, the DataLab is proud to
present four advanced bioinformatics workshops covering key techniques in
genomics and transcriptomics. These workshops provide training in:

   - Identifying and annotating transposable elements;
   - Building genome-graphs for structural variation analysis;
   - Processing RNA-Seq data in R to identify differential gene expression;
   - Performing Gene Set Enrichment and Protein-Protein Interaction.

Each session offers practical applications and discussion on the latest
tools in bioinformatics research.
Connect online or join us at the Albert B. Weaver Science-Engineering
Library (Learning Studio, room 212 (Nov 12)) and the Main Library (Learning
Studio CATalyst (Nov 19)) for:

If you or others have any questions, you can reach out to me and I'll be
happy to answer anything in relation to the workshops or DataLab.

Thanks!
