EMBL-EBI: Exploring genetic variation data

BeginnersPrerequisitesNew

This workshop will give an introduction to exploring variation data by the use of the European Variation Archive (EVA), Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) and UniProt. The workshop will include a mixture of tutorials and hands-on sessions covering a number of key resources to both find and analyse variation data.

Also note: This event is part of a series of short introductions focusing on EMBL-EBI resources. If you want to learn more about these separate training events, see the Related Courses section below.
