Getting Help with the UCSC Genome Browser
Host a Genome Browser Workshop! Map
Do you suspect that there is a lot more to the Genome Browser than you have been using? Timeslots are available to host a Genome Browser workshop at your institution. Thanks to the funding support of NHGRI, we are able to offer hands-on Genome Browser training onsite at your institution at very affordable prices, tailored to your audience's level of expertise. Host — NOTE: virtual tutorials are available while coronavirus limits travel. Use the "host" link to contact us.
For more information or to submit a request to host a workshop, please visit our sign-up page.
