You have probably heard of or used the UCSC Genome Browser, but the Ensembl Genome Browser is a platform that also contains a wealth of information on dozens of species’ genomic data. This hands-on demonstration will show users the basic Ensembl interface, how to find sequence, variation and regulation information and how to download data from the browser.

The Computational Skills for Informatics (CSI) Seminar is a series of presentations and hands-on workshops for Northwestern researchers designed to offer insight on topics relevant to bioinformatics and large dataset management and computation. It's hosted in collaboration with Galter Health Sciences Library, NUCATS, and Northwesetern University Information Technology.
