Dear All
We have some new workshops here at Edinburgh Genomics, connecting users with the latest tools and techniques in genomic informatics:
Bioinformatics Workflows with Snakemake - Researchers needing to implement data analysis workflows face a number of common challenges, including the need to organise their tasks, make effective use of compute resources, handle unexpected errors in processing, and document and share their methods. The Snakemake workflow system provides effective solutions to these problems. By the end of the course, you will be confident in using Snakemake to tackle complex workflow problems and in your day-to-day research. 30-31 May 2019 genomics.ed.ac.uk/services/bioinformatics-workflows-snakemake
Alignment, Analysis and Visualisation with Jalview. - Jalview (www.jalview.org) is one of the most widely used applications for visualising and analysing DNA, RNA and protein multiple sequence alignments. It is designed to enable anyone working with protein, RNA and DNA sequences to investigate their structure, function and evolution, and create high-quality figures for publication. In a full day introductory workshop and a half-day advanced workshop, Jalview’s lead developer and outreach officer will take participants through a series of hands-on exercises covering all of Jalview’s key capabilities and latest features. 29-30 April 2019 genomics.ed.ac.uk/services/alignment-analysis-and-visualisation-jalview
Network Analysis of High Dimensional Biological Data - This one day practical course is designed to introduce participants to the joys of networks, focusing on their application to biological research and in particular, their use in the analysis of complex data. The course will start by introducing the principles of networks and their use as a generic medium to understand the relationships between entities. It will then introduce participants to a new analysis platform, Graphia, going through the basics of its functionality for network visualisation and navigation, and demonstrating the tool‘s use in the exploration of large networks of protein interaction data and phylogenetic trees. 24 April 2019 genomics.ed.ac.uk/services/network-analysis-high-dimensional-biological-data
