Dear all, We are excited to announce our upcoming online course: AI FOR GENOMICS: FROM CNNs AND LSTMs TO TRANSFORMERS
Dates: 9–11 September
Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/ai-for-genomics/
This hands-on course will dive into the application of modern AI models—including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, and Transformers—to genomic and metagenomic sequence data.
Participants will work through practical coding exercises and interactive notebooks, learning to:
Model and classify genomic sequences
Predict functional genomic elements
Perform metagenomic source tracking
Apply attention mechanisms and train transformer-based models
Interpret biological results using AI outputs
