We will cover the use of filters as BLAST tools andcontrast them with the use of PHI‐BLAST. We will learn about substitution matrices and how the PSSMrelates to PSI‐BLAST. The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) is a public repository that archives and freely distributes microarray, next‐generation sequencing, and other forms of high‐throughput functional genomic data. Learn how to navigate the GEO interface to retrieve data to inform your experiments. This workshop will acquaint attendees with NCBI blast tool for comparing nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches. Attendees will also learn how to query and download experiments that are MIAME‐compliant.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align:start;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px">	<span><span style='Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif'><span style="line-height:1.6em"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="font-variant-ligatures:normal"><span style="font-variant-caps:normal"><span style="font-weight:400"><span style="letter-spacing:normal"><span style="orphans:2"><span style="text-transform:none"><span style="white-space:normal"><span style="widows:2"><span style="word-spacing:0px"><span style="text-decoration-style:initial"><span style="text-decoration-color:initial">The c3 Bioinformatics team, in conjunction with theHMS/HSDM Office for Postdoctoral Fellows, is offering 2019 Summer Bioinformatics Bootcamp.
