March 6-10 in Washington, D.C.
We look forward to seeing you in person at The Allied Genetics Conference (TAGC), March 6-10, 2024, in the Washington D.C. metro area. NCBI staff will participate in a variety of activities and events, including hosting a hands-on workshop: Exploring and downloading NCBI data with NCBI Datasets. We’re also excited to share our recent efforts on the NIH Comparative Genomics Resource (CGR) in a talk during Sunday’s Technology, Tools, and Resources session.
Check out NCBI’s schedule of activities and events:
Workshop
Saturday, March 9, 2024
2:00 – 4:00 pm
Exploring and downloading NCBI data with NCBI Datasets
Facilitators: Nuala O’Leary, PhD and Eric Cox, PhD
Get an introduction to NCBI Datasets, a new resource for finding and downloading NCBI data. During this workshop, you will use our new user-friendly web and programmatic interfaces to get genome, gene and ortholog data. Guided by NCBI facilitators, you will explore how to work with metadata for both small and large datasets. The session includes hands-on exercises that you can follow with your own computer or mobile devices. Command line tasks will be facilitated through a Jupyter Notebook. This workshop is intended for everyone, whether you are experienced bioinformaticians, new to the command line, or just using the web.
Talks
Sunday, March 10, 2024

The NIH Comparative Genomics Resource (CGR)
Presenting Author: Terence Murphy, PhD
CGR facilitates reliable comparative genomics analyses for all eukaryotic organisms through an NCBI Toolkit and community collaboration. Get an overview of CGR-related resources, including genome contamination screening and annotation tools, new methods to access genome and gene sequence and metadata, Comparative Genome Viewer (CGV) for pairwise analysis of genomes, and improvements to BLAST and domain analysis to aid in exploring protein function and conservation across the tree of life.
