Workshop Agenda

Comparative Genomic Resources of the UCSC Genome Browser Workshop
Jessamine (Mezzanine/2nd Floor)

Presented by Robert Kuhn from Robert Kuhn Consulting, LLC

The Comparative Genomics resources on the UCSC Genome Browser bring together a large number of sequenced species in a graphical display that shows the evolutionary relationships among hundreds of vertebrate species. The data are produced using a process that uses a number of steps including alignment of each species to the base organism, discarding certain repeat alignments, and aggregating the results via evolutionary trees.  Any location in the genome can then be visualized in evolutionary context through other mammals, birds and fish back to lamprey. The display shows beautiful conservation signals for conserved exons and domain regions of proteins that imply functional importance, at amino-acid or nucleotide resolution. This workshop will explore ways to understand and use these resources, with a look under the hood at how they are produced.

5:30 pm
