| Name | Training materials for Bioinformatics |
| Short Description | |
| Description | Bioinformatics is a relatively new specialist area. We need to raise awareness of the field here in Africa and expose local scientists to its potential. The West has spent millions of dollars sequencing the genomes of humans, animals, plants and parasites and the resulting data are freely available on the Internet. This is a vast body of knowledge that local scientists can use to solve their specific problems or to answer research questions. All scientists in Africa need to make use of these data are a computer, good Internet access and bioinformatics skills. Raising awareness and building capacity in Bioinformatics in Africa is a major focus of the Bioinformatics Platform. This is accomplished through regular training courses and research projects undertaken at the BecA platform. |
