Gramene BLAST Webinar on Tues, Oct 20, 2015 @ 2:00 pm EDT

Have a BLAST with Gramene!

The Gramene database invites you to a FREE 30-min webinar on Gramene BLAST.

This webinar will highlight important features of the sequence BLAST tool and demonstrate how to maximize your chances of getting the best BLAST hits. The tool allows aligning query sequences against genomic DNA, cDNAs and translated peptides of 39 plant genomes in Gramene.

Exercises will focus on Arabidopsis and explore homologous gene search for functional and evolutionary similarity. We welcome specific requests or use-cases from plant research communities (e.g., Solanaceae, Oryzae, etc.). If you ever had a hard time with a particular BLAST issue... Drop us a line! -- webinars@gramene.org. We would be happy to address it during the presentation.

Join us online on Tuesday, October 20th, 2015 at 2:00 pm EDT.
