Training and events

The Centre for Genomic Research offers ad-hoc informatics support and provides training courses via the NERC Environmental Omics Facility (NEOF).

Our bioinformatics courses cover a range of applications including genome assembly, metabarcoding, population genomics and RNA sequencing. We also offer one to one support via the CGR informatics clinic.

CGR Python for Bioinformatics workshop (2nd & 4th December 2025, online)

The Centre for Genomic Research (CGR) at the University of Liverpool (UoL) presents this 2-day online Python for Bioinformatics workshop.

Date & Time
