Exploring Bioinformatics Tools for Genomic Analysis

Bioinformatics plays a crucial role in modern genomic research, helping scientists decode complex biological data to understand genetic variations, disease mechanisms, and drug responses. This workshop will provide participants with an in-depth understanding of bioinformatics tools for genomic analysis, covering fundamental concepts, sequence alignment, genome annotation, and visualization techniques. By integrating theoretical knowledge with hands-on training, attendees will gain practical experience in using tools such as BLAST, Ensembl, and UCSC Genome Browser for analyzing genomic sequences.

Participants will explore how bioinformatics accelerates research in precision medicine, agricultural biotechnology, and evolutionary studies. The workshop will emphasize the importance of computational approaches in identifying genetic markers, understanding mutations, and predicting protein functions. By the end of the session, attendees will be equipped with foundational skills for genomic data analysis, preparing them for research roles in academia, healthcare, and the biotech industry.
