Amazing genomics conference here in Tasmania - Early Bird Closing Monday | Updated Program Available
by Jac Charlesworth 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Hi, I’m circulating this on to the list because it is local, earlybird closes Monday, there’s group registration options, posters are still open and it’ll be a great conference. Rego is even cheaper for AGTA members (and membership is cheap and worth having if you’re into genomics). There are also two pre-conference workshops being held on the 29th of October that are open to non-conference attendees – one on single-cell sequencing and a gene editing symposium. Those are $40 for general and $20 for students and worth going to one! Pass it on!

AGTA17 Genomics conference in Hobart
by Jac Charlesworth 23 Jun '17

23 Jun '17

Hi everyone, There's a genomic technologies conference happening in Hobart October 29th to November 1st that you should consider checking out. Abstracts for talks close in a bit over a week (3rd July) but registration is open longer so get the abstracts in! It is interdisciplinary, has some great speakers lined up, includes travel awards (even for locals), a family room if you need it, conference dinner at Mona, lots of awards and prizes and best of all, covers lots of awesome science. There's also two pre-conference workshops<http://agtaconference.org/pre-conference-workshops-2/> (a symposium on gene editing and a workshop on single cell sequencing) that locals can register for without attending the conference! If you only want to attend a workshop please email Emma Harrison Emma(a)leishman-associates.com.au<mailto:Emma@leishman-associates.com.au> instead on using the online registration. There's also a student/ECR function organised by some local PhD students, and discounts for group registrations (plus become an AGTA member - it is cheap and helps with registration costs) Best wishes, Jac View this email in your browser<http://mail.eventsairmail.com/wf/click?upn=leXlJNbV2Nqtn2a5oly5SIbTVvWpWO-2…> [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/8e6c7f581a1a22c544246ccdc/images/1adf3c91-d21…]<http://mail.eventsairmail.com/wf/click?upn=6Z1aqJiIYyZxRAXwtKR5r8X7jDDQ1hum…> [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/8e6c7f581a1a22c544246ccdc/images/9787f6d0-595…]<http://mail.eventsairmail.com/wf/click?upn=6Z1aqJiIYyZxRAXwtKR5r8X7jDDQ1hum…> The AGTA Organising Committee are pleased to share with you the first look at the 2017 preliminary program.

Genome Workshop: Darn darn darn, darny darn!
by Michael Charleston 16 Jun '17

16 Jun '17

Dear everyone, I’m very sorry to announce that, most regrettably, we can no longer go ahead with Dr Munoz-Torres’ workshops, which were to take place on the 29th and 30th of this month. The travel agent / visa company she commissioned to get her over here messed it up and so she doesn’t have a visa, and cannot travel to Australia. If you’ve registered and paid, then please accept our apologies for getting your hopes up! I know I was very much looking forward to the two days. I’ll contact Finance to see how we get your monies back to you.

Genome Annotation and Open Science workshop update
by Michael Charleston 12 May '17

12 May '17

Dear all, The tour website has been set up and I’m now working on a registration page for this fun workshop. Book in those dates: 29th and 30th of June, Sandy Bay campus. Stay tuned to https://www.embl-abr.org.au/monicamunoz-torrestour/ ! The registration fee will be $100 for the two days. And in related news, the open science workshop is now expanded to a whole day – there’s lots of interesting activities and discussions to take part in and I hope you’ll join us. Those of you who are a bit more au fait with bioinformatics are hereby also asked if you’d like to take part in a slightly more leading way, such as joining on a panel discussion on aspects of Open Science. Here’s a rough break-down of expected activities (but I’m not promising catering at this point!): * Welcome * Open Science: what is it and why? * Fears about OS and response * Open Data: what makes good Open Data in Biology? * Morning tea * Exercise: make a Data Management Plan for your own project * Report back, discussion * Open Methods and Code: why is this important and what are some ways to do this? * Exercise * Lunch * Report back, discussion * Exercise * Open Access Publishing * Exercise: discover your own OA publishing requirements * Open Training Materials * Open Training Materials: discussion * Afternoon tea * Exercise (with afternoon tea continuing) * Report back, discussion * Tips for open collaborative science * Summary and feedback * Wrap-up, thank-yous, goodbyes Michael Charleston Associate Professor in Bioinformatics Co-director of Data, Knowledge and Decisions Research Theme Head of UTAS node of EMBL-ABR School of Physical Sciences University of Tasmania AUSTRALIA phone: +61 3 6226 2444 University of Tasmania Electronic Communications Policy (December, 2014).

Genome Annotation and Open Science workshop: Final Dates June 29 & 30.
by Michael Charleston 27 Apr '17

27 Apr '17

Dear all, We are a GO* on the Genome Annotation and Open Science workshop, to be run by Dr Monica Munoz-Torres. We have had to change the date though: the workshops will now be on the 29th and 30th of June at UTAS on the Sandy Bay campus. The Genome Annotation workshop is a one-day affair and will be on the Thursday. I will send around details as to what you should do / prepare for (and I believe it’s quite minimal) when I have them. The Open Science workshop takes half a day and will be on the Friday morning. Dr Munoz-Torres will also be around that afternoon for more discussion. Please confirm now that you’re able to come – the more people who sign up, the cheaper it will be (and it will I expect be <$100). The very low cost is a direct consequence of the fantastic organisational skills of EMBL-ABR staff (some are cc’d above), who have enabled this roadshow-like tour to happen across Australia. Dr Munoz-Torres is visiting Melbourne, Hobart, Townsville, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth before returning to Prague. Let’s make her stay in Hobart the best one :) Here’s what I sent around last time, for a bit of a reminder: Bioinformatics users and researchers in Tasmania have a great opportunity to welcome an expert in genome annotation and bio-curation in the form of Dr Monica (Moni) Munoz-Torres from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California. Dr Munoz-Torres’ home page: http://www.berkeleybop.org/people/monica-munoz-torres/ Google Scholar page: https://scholar.google.com.au/citations?hl=en&user=GaQVcBAAAAAJ&view_op=lis… and linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monimunozto/ And here’s a bit more information in the form of some questions, with answers from Monica: “Primer on Genome Annotation” workshop Is this a hands-on workshop with attendees bringing laptops? There will be a 'lecture' component and a hands-on component. The hands-on part will be conducting manual curation exercises using Apollo. Attendees must bring their own computer, and it must be able to wirelessly connect to the internet, must have an up-to-date version of a web browser (please advise them to use Chrome, Firefox, or Safari), and must be able to open PDF files. No additional software installations are necessary. Some people find using Apollo with the aid of a mouse much easier than with a trackpad, so please advise potential participants to bring a mouse if they think it would suit them better. Also note: we have a computer lab booked: the machines do indeed connect to the internet. Is there a maximum or recommended number of participants? I prefer to teach groups of max. 25 people. I have also taught classes for up to 40 people without teaching assistants (TAs) - it can become a bit of a 3-ring circus at times, but it is doable. How long does it take to run this workshop? Should we say 9am-5pm? This usually includes 5 hours of teaching material + practical exercises. It is correct to assume we can reserve time slots of 9AM to 5PM, factor in breaks and meals - and likely we should be done by or shortly before 5PM. “Open Science” workshop What would be the structure, format and duration of such a workshop? Going by my conversations with Vicky, we thought the "Open Science" portion would be a combination of talks and a discussion panel - to make a case for open science, opening the conversation to more than one 'speaker' will also be a great start. As far as duration, I don't see this as taking an entire day, but rather a morning session or afternoon session. It depends on how much more structure you wish to give it... we can evolve the concept into something larger, of course. There will be a registration page set up soon: stay tuned, and mark the dates!
