Rabies Accessible Genomic Epidemiology (RAGE) workshop

Monday 26th - Friday 30th June 2023, University of Glasgow, UK
The RAGE workshop is a hands-on training course on nanopore-based genome sequencing to support enhanced canine rabies virus surveillance in a local context.

Over 5-days, based on the banks of Loch Lomand at the University's scenic Scottish Centre for Ecology and the Natural Environment, participants will undergo introductory training in a sample-to-sequence-to-interpretation workflow, including nanopore library preparation and basic data analysis.
