Burkholderia Jamboree

A three-day, hands-on Burkholderia Annotation Jamboree was conducted in an effort to train community experts in the Burkholderia field on JCVI's internal tools for structural and functional annotation. The jamboree was held on the JCVI campus, Sept 24, 2008 - Sept 26, 2008. Training consisted of a series of lectures describing JCVI's prokaryotic annotation methodologies and functional annotation tool, Manatee. Additionally, community researchers participated in a series of instructional hands-on annotation training exercises. After completing the training portion of the jamboree, community researchers subsequently contributed to the manual curation of Burkholderia genome projects.
