Prerequisite: Some experience in Perl programming. Beginners to the
Ensembl API are welcome. <br>
<br>
The Ensembl project provides a comprehensive and integrated source
of annotation of mainly vertebrate genome sequences. This workshop
is aimed at researchers and developers interested in exploring
Ensembl beyond the website. The workshop covers the core, compara,
variation and functional genomics (regulation) databases and APIs.<br>

<br>
For each of these the database schema and the API design as well as
the most important objects and their methods will be presented. This
will be followed by practical sessions in which the participants can
put theoretical learning into practice by writing their own Perl
scripts.<br>
