Introduction to NCBI Database/Resources: Opportunities for Researchers

2 independent online workshops  conducted by NCBI trainers from the NIH   

Thursday, November 19 – 1pm‐4pm EST (12-3 pm CST)

NCBI RESOURCES FOR PATHOGEN (BACTERIA & VIRUS) GENOMICS RESEARCH

This workshop is for those involved in pathogen research. We will cover some general resources that provide information for all organisms, then we will focus on some newly developed resources designed specifically for viral and microbial data. This session focuses on existing and new web‐based databases and tools.  In this workshop you will learn how to:

• Assess and access the diversity of organism‐specific data based on taxonomy

• Learn about bacteria‐and microbiome‐specific resources, including the Pathogen Detection Project site

• Find, view and download nucleotide/genomic sequences and annotation data

• Learn about bacteria‐and microbiome‐specific resources, including the Pathogen Detection Project site

• Be introduced to the new genome‐based NCBI Datasets resource

• Explore the new and developing virus‐specific resource ‐ NCBI Virus

• Discover information linked from our new COVID‐19/SARS‐CoV‐2 page
