Modern molecular and genomic approaches have enabled biologists to ask and answer questions that had previously been intractable. These modern approaches yield vast volumes of data, which require the use of computational tools for effective and efficient analysis. Marine microbiologists are increasingly employing such methods to interrogate complex marine microbial communities, which have defied greater understanding by use of other approaches. However, most marine science educational programs are not prepared to offer the computational training needed to utilize the most modern tools. A course in marine bioinformatics will be offered to train today?s marine scientists in these modern computational tools to enhance their ability to gain novel understanding and insights about these marine microbial systems. The US-EU Taskforce on Biotechnology Research recommended that this type of training course be developed to build such capacity. The training course will be held in the summer of 2012 at Jacobs University in Germany. The main aims of the Marine Bioinformatics training course are to bring together young scientists in a forum that will set the groundwork for future overseas collaborations, and to provide a resource for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and faculty to acquire the skills-set necessary for proper experimental design and for analysis of diversity, (meta)genomics, (meta)transcriptomics, (meta)proteomics, (meta)metabolomics, and associated environmental contextual data from the marine environment. The course will train 30 participants, with 15 from each side of the Atlantic. Participants will be recruited from a range of backgrounds such as computer science, bioinformatics, marine microbial ecology, molecular microbiology, environmental science and oceanography. The course will be organized by scientific chairs: Jennifer F. Biddle, School of Marine Science and Policy, University of Delaware, Lewes DE, USA and Frank Oliver Glöckner, Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, Bremen & Jacobs University, Bremen, Germany. This course will impact early career scientists by providing them broad interdisciplinary training to expand their research skills. Each participant will be required to report on their efforts to disseminate course material after the course ends, and online content will be posted for those unable to attend.

现代分子和基因组方法使生物学家能够提出并回答以前棘手的问题。这些现代方法产生了大量数据，这些数据需要使用计算工具进行有效和有效的分析。海洋微生物学家越来越多地采用这种方法来审问复杂的海洋微生物群落，这些群落通过使用其他方法来定义更大的理解。但是，大多数海洋科学教育计划都不准备提供使用最现代工具所需的计算培训。今天，将提供一门海洋生物信息学的课程，以培训这些现代计算工具中的海洋科学家，以增强其对这些海洋微生物系统的新了解和见解的能力。美国欧盟生物技术研究工作组建议开发这种类型的培训课程来建立这种能力。培训课程将于2012年夏天在德国的雅各布斯大学举行。 The main aims of the Marine Bioinformatics training course are to bring together young scientists in a forum that will set the groundwork for future overseas collaborations, and to provide a resource for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and faculty to acquire the skills-set necessary for proper experimental design and for analysis of diversity, (meta)genomics, (meta)transcriptomics, (meta)proteomics, (meta)metabolomics, and来自海洋环境的相关环境上下文数据。该课程将培训30名参与者，其中15位来自大西洋的两侧。参与者将从计算机科学，生物信息学，海洋微生物生态学，分子微生物学，环境科学和海洋学等各种背景中招募。该课程将由科学椅子组织：詹妮弗·贝德尔（Jennifer F. Biddle），美国特拉华大学海洋科学与政策学院，美国刘易斯·德（Lewes de）和弗兰克·奥利弗·格洛克纳（FrankOliverGlöckner），麦克斯·普朗克（Max Planck）海洋微生物学研究所，不来梅和雅各布大学，德国，德国。本课程将通过提供广泛的跨学科培训来扩大他们的研究技能，从而影响早期的职业科学家。每个参与的课程结束后都必须报告他们为传播课程材料的努力，并将发布在线内容，以适应无法参加的人。可以在http://www.microb3.eu/events/workshops/eu-us-training上找到课程网站。
