13-14 September: September 2010 GMOD Meeting
GMOD Europe 2010 will start with the September 2010 GMOD Meeting, held 13-14 September. The meeting will be held at the University of Cambridge, and is hosted by the Cambridge Computational Biology Institute. GMOD Meetings are a mix of user and developer presentations, and are a great place to find out what is happening in the project, what's coming up, and what others are doing. See the January 2010 GMOD Meeting page for an idea of what happens at a GMOD meeting.
15 September: Satellite Meetings
The Satellite Meetings at the January 2010 GMOD Meeting proved so popular that we are holding them again, this time the day after the meeting, and immediately before Genome Informatics 2010.
Please see the Satellite Meetings page for a list of current proposals, or to add yours to the list.
15 September: InterMine Workshop
There will be a one day InterMine Workshop held on Wednesday, 15 September.
InterMine is an open source system for building biological data warehouses with a powerful web interface and query API. See FlyMine or ModMine for examples. InterMine can integrate data from many common biological formats and is easy to extend to include your own data. Parsers are included to load data from Chado, Ensembl, UniProt, KEGG, PubMed, TreeFam, GFF3, FASTA, BioPax and many others.
See the InterMine Workshop Page for details.
16 September: BioMart Workshop
There will be a one day BioMart Workshop held on Thursday, 16 September. BioMart provides a single point of access to various 'omics and annotation from disparate data sources, including biomolecular sequence resources, pathways, protein interaction and annotation. This one-day workshop is aimed to biologists who may wish to learn how to programmatically integrate various sources over the web (API/webservices), introducing the latest BioMart (0.8) Java libraries that supersedes the current Perl infrastructure. The hands-on will primarily focus on the resources currently available at the BioMart Central Portal and other BioMart portals.
See the BioMart Workshop page for more details.
Logistics
Transportation
See the University's Getting to Cambridge page for information about arriving by train (also try TheTrainline.com), car, bus, or air.
