EMBL-EBI: Introduction to EMBL-EBI resources

Beginners

This workshop is an introduction to EMBL-EBI and the life science data resources it provides. Participants will be shown how to navigate the website and search for appropriate database resources and tools, whilst also highlighting resources such as Train online (our e-learning portal) and the literature resources at Europe PMC.

The timetable for this event can be found here.

This workshop will not focus on a set of specific resources; for more focused workshops please see the others within this series (see the Related Courses section below)
