An interactive 3-hour in-person bioinformatics workshop is scheduled for March 5th, 2024, from 10 AM to 1 PM. Blending training sessions with hands-on activities the workshop is designed for students, post-docs, and early investigators interested in bioinformatics analysis and knowledgebase development. Attendees will be able to participate using their cell phones, mobile devices, or laptops. This workshop marks a continuation of the [https://wiki.glygen.org/Glycan_Function_Workshop_2023 Glycan Function Workshop] series initiated last year during Biocuration 2023 in Padua, Italy. The focus of the workshop will be on bioinformatics analysis use cases that span exploration of glycan and protein function, gene mutations, gene expression, and how biocuration along with large-scale analysis, querying, and filtering of data can reveal insights into biomolecule function. NIH's [https://app.nih-cfde.org/ Common Fund Data Ecosystem] will also be presented.
'''Please Add Abstract'''
 
This workshop aims to provide attendees with practical skills in bioinformatics analysis. Best practices in knowledgebase development and biocuration will also be discussed, fostering seamless integration into existing resources worldwide and making data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. There will also be a feedback session to identify gaps in current resources.
