Bioinformatics in the tropics II: Large data sets analysis workshop: HIV phylogenetics and drug resistance, Durban, South Africa, 23-26 Sept 2013
This is the second workshop of the bioinformatics in the tropics series, which will be presented by the Wellcome Trust Africa Centre for Health and Population Studies at K-RITH at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa, 23 to 27 September 2013. The bioinformatics in the tropics series is part of a south to south capacity building programme to develop the next generation of bioinformaticians in Africa and Latin America.
Workshop topics?
The workshop involves theoretical lectures and practical sessions on the usage and interpretation of bioinformatics applications for the study of large data sets of HIV genomic data.
