attention!
As the air traffic is going back to normal, the workshop will take place as planned. See you all in Cargèse!
motivation
Recent years have brought evidence of an unexpected wealth of functional roles
of RNA in programmed cell differentiation, disease, metabolic sensing, brain
processes, and more. Experimental and computational screens yield large numbers
of candidate RNAs asking for functional analysis. Just in time with the
increased interest in roles of RNA, computational tools dealing with RNA have
been sharpened and extended. Skillful use of state-of-the-art computational
methods is increasingly important for successful work in RNA biology.
audience
This EMBO Course addresses RNA biologists on the PhD-student or postdoctoral
level. It teaches the effective use of computational tools for tasks such as
comparative structure prediction, miRNA and target prediction, RNA family
modelling and database searching based on structure. The course emphasizes
the models behind the algorithms, whose understanding is essential for using
the tools effectively, and provides practical, guided exercises in extensive
computer labs.
