In May 2015, the University of Michigan Taubman Health Sciences Library and Department of Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics hosted Peter Cooper from NCBI for a 2-day NCBI Discovery Workshop.  These sessions were streamed live and the recordings are available below:

• Session 1: Navigating NCBI Molecular Data through the Integrated Entrez System and BLAST, Part 1
  This session covers using Gene as a key access point to explore: Genomic transcript and protein sequences; Genomic context; Functional information; Biological pathways; Homologs in other species; Expression data; Protein structures.
• Session 1: Navigating NCBI Molecular Data through the Integrated Entrez System and BLAST, Part 2
  This session covers using Gene as a key access point to explore: Genomic transcript and protein sequences; Genomic context; Functional information; Biological pathways; Homologs in other species; Expression data; Protein structures.
• Session 2: Gene Expression Resources at the NCBI, Part 1
  This workshop covers GEO, GEO Datasets, and GEO profiles: Concept and scope; Curated and non-curated data; Analyzing microarray data; Pre-computed, curated data; GEO2R, non-curated data; Accessing next-gen RNA-Seq data in GEO, SRA and Gene; Transcriptome alignment view in Gene; Using SRA-BLAST to explore Next-Gen data.
