2024 Phage Genomics Workshop
Dec 9 to Dec 13, 2024
Workshop
Topic: Annotation & Bioinformatics (in silico)
A week-long workshop where new SEA-PHAGES faculty members learn the basics of the second semester of the course. Topics include auto-annotating a genome, adding or deleting genes, calling tRNAs, refining start-site calls, merging annotations, determining functions, and comparative genomics. The two major programs used are DNA Master and Phamerator, both of which participants should be well-acquainted with by the end of the workshop.
2024 Phage Discovery Workshop 17B
Jul 13 to Jul 19, 2024
Workshop
Topic: Microbiology (in situ)
The goal of the workshop is to familiarize the new cohort 16 schools as well as several of the faculty that have been added previously, but have not had formal training. Participants with get to know the concepts and associated techniques of bacteriophage isolation and characterization. Another important component is to share experiences in pedagogy and reagent/supply acquisition and preparation that will help with the implementation of the course at each institution. One of the benefits of being part of the SEA-PHAGES community is the support available from each cohort and the large number of other SEA-PHAGES institutions. This benefit also extends to the students with the knowledge that they are part of a larger scientific community and that their research efforts are valued.

What to bring: You must bring a laptop with a working copy of DNA Master. We strongly recommend that this computer also have: -a working copy of the 2017 SEA VM -some kind of graphics software like Illustrator, Inkscape, or Canvas -Excel -SplitsTree (splitstree.org) which requires Java -PhamNexus https://github.com/chg60/phamnexus/wiki (at the moment, PhamNexus only runs on Linux. PhamNexus generates the files that SplitsTree uses as input, so if you do not want to make SplitsTree files, you do not have to run this program).

2017 Genome Announcement Workshop
Jun 11 to Jun 13, 2017
Workshop
Topic: Advanced Bioinformatics
In lieu of the standard biennial Advanced Bioinformatics Workshop, this year we will host a Genome Announcement Workshop following the 9th Annual SEA-PHAGES Symposium in June. Instead of a single paper describing in-depth analyses of a group of phages, this year’s workshop will focus on helping participants produce their own high-quality genome announcements. The facilitators will demonstrate the use of bioinformatic tools to tease out interesting genomic features, and will provide guidance about the particulars of writing this very specific type of paper. Participants will then work in small teams to write a genome announcement for a related group of phages, including their own. ICMJE Guidelines Genome Announcements Instructions to Authors
