Course - San Jose, Costa Rica
This course is a collaboration between Wellcome Trust Advanced Courses, The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute Pathogen Genomics Group, The PulseNet Latin America & Caribbean Network, The University of Costa Rica and Universidad Nacional of Costa Rica.
The course is targeted at clinical molecular biologists and microbiologists working in resource-limited countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and will focus on human, animal and food-borne bacterial diseases. The programme will combine practical, laboratory-based training with hands-on, computational data analysis (informatics).
Laboratory-based practicals: Molecular Sub-typing techniques
Bacterial genomic DNA extraction
Real Time PCR (including optimisation and primer design)
Computational practicals: Informatics and Surveillance Exercises
General Web-based bioinformatics (BLAST, FASTA)
Manipulation of raw sequence data: mapping and de novo assemblies, SNP calling, annotation and analysis of genomic information
Sequence analysis and comparative genomics software tools (Artemis, ACT)
Principles of phylogenetics
Passive surveillance practical exercises
Georeferencing (phylogeography) practical exercises
