8 years ago We're postponing this workshop until we can find appropriate teaching space. We had the staff conference room reserved for July 14-15 for the event, but Development needs it for Discovery Day. To do it right, we need:
- Table seating capacity for 25 people, because it's awkward and uncomfortable to compute out of your lap. Conference rooms won't seat 25 at the table.
- Room to move, so that participants can get the one-on-one assistance that they need. The auditorium doesn't permit movement.
So until we can secure one of the two spaces that meet our needs, we’ll postpone until late August or September at the earliest.
POSTPONED Data Carpentry workshops are for any researcher who has data they want to analyze , and no prior computational experience is required. This hands-on workshop teaches basic concepts, skills and tools for working more effectively with data.
The focus of this two-day workshop will be on working with genomics data and data management and analysis for genomics research. We will cover connecting to and using cloud computing and the command line for sequence quality control and bioinformatics workflows. We will not be teaching any particular bioinformatics tools, but the foundational skills that will allow you to conduct any analysis and analyze the output of a genomics pipeline.
Participants should bring their laptops and plan to participate actively. By the end of the workshop learners should be able to more effectively manage and analyze data and be able to apply the tools and approaches directly to their ongoing research. Participants will learn to analyze high-throughput (NGS) sequence data with:
• Unix command line basics • Sequence experiment planning & quality control • Genome alignment & cleanup • Variant calling • Workflow automation
