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
