SGN: Solanaceae Genomes, Tools, and the Breeder's Toolbox

Intended Audience:

The SOL Genomics Network (SGN,  solgenomics.net) is a repository for whole genome sequences, large scale genotype, genetic map, expression, and phenotype data of solanaceae and closely related species. It provides access to data using in-house and externally developed open source annotation, analysis and visualization tools. Data is highly integrated and cross-referenced to allow discovery of knowledge. Crops with rich datasets at SGN include tomato, potato, pepper, tobacco, coffee, and petunia.

Biologists and breeders interested in utilizing the data and tools available at SGN will benefit from attending the workshop. Bioinformaticians interested in exchanging experiences, ideas and co-developing tools are also welcome.

Audience Level:

Beginners and advanced users of SGN

Workshop Coordinators:

Isaak Y Tecle and Lukas Mueller, SGN

Prerequisite and requirements

Attendees are invited to bring their laptops to follow the demonstrations.
