Background:
The Biosciences eastern and central Africa-International Livestock Research Institute (BecA-ILRI) Hub is a shared agricultural research and biosciences platform that seeks to strengthen the capacity of the African scientific community in driving research and innovation for development.

The Advanced Bioinformatics Training Workshop:
As part of the ABCF program, BecA-ILRI Hub will hold a 10-day hands-on training workshop on Advanced Bioinformatics, from 4-13 October 2017. The workshop will provide a learning forum for researchers in advanced bioinformatic analysis of various genomic data sets. Designed to 'train the trainers', this workshop aims at expanding the continental network of NARS researchers with strengthened capacity for application of bioinformatics.
Applications are invited from individuals in African NARS who require advanced skills in bioinformatics to support their research. A total of 20 research scientists will be selected based on evidence of productive research and the relevance of advanced bioinformatics skills to their current research.
Key topics to be covered in the training include;
- Introduction to Bioinformatics, biological databases and genomics resources.
- Introduction to Genomics and next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies.
- Introduction to Linux
- Introduction to statistics and 'R'
- RNA sequencing and DNA sequencing analysis
