This course will introduce crop biologists to methods and approaches for analysing crop genomics data for genotyping. During the course participants will learn about genotyping experimental design, variant calling, comparative genomics using Ensembl, analyse variation data with Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor and the European Variation Archive and explore concepts of genome wide association studies (GWAS).

This workshop will be delivered in English, however all our trainers are fluent Spanish speakers and can offer support where needed.

Date and venue: The workshop will take place between 16-20 March 2020 at Universidad de Los Andes, Bogota, Colombia.
