2011 Workshop on Genomics, Fort Collins

The 2011 Workshop on Comparative Genomics (renamed Workshop on Genomics), Fort Collins was the first time this particular Workshop was organized in North America. The Workshop curriculum was designed to be similar to the previous Workshop in Český Krumlov with several minor changes made based on participant feedback. For example, a large number of participants and faculty from the previous Workshop recommended increasing the amount of time dedicated to working with the UNIX command line and programming. This is reflected in the Fort Collins schedule shown below. The Workshop was attended by 67 participants from over 20 different countries with a wide range of experience and interests in the genomic sciences.
