What kind of training sessions (levels) are offered for Vector NTI?
Both Introductory and advanced levels of training are available (http://bioinformatics.unc.edu/education/). Our Introductory session is an overview of all of the components that make up Vector NTI and requires no previous experience using this software package. Our advanced sessions focus on a specific feature of Vector NTI (such as ContigExpress or Molecule Construction and Design, but not limited to those). The advanced sessions require competence with Vector NTI. We suggest that those new to Vector NTI attend an Introductory session first. All of our scheduled Introductory and advanced sessions are 2 hrs; the frequency and type of sessions depend on demand. We can arrange lab-oriented sessions for research groups, individual training and guest lectures/demos for any bioinformatics-oriented class. Any customized session can be requested by emailing hkelkar@unc.edu. We are currently are only offering workshops at UNC-CH, NCSU, and ECU.
