Training and Professional Development

  • CBC Bioinformatics Training Workshops in December

    The Computational Biology Core within the Institute for Systems Genomics is pleased to announce their virtual workshops for December!

    Workshop descriptions and registration links can be found here: https://bioinformatics.uconn.edu/cbc-workshops/


    Topic: Virtual RNA-Seq Data Analysis
    Dates: 
    December 7-10, 2020 
    Time: 9:00am – 12:00pm 
    Location: Online
    Cost: $300

    The workshop will cover basic concepts and walk through a complete analysis on a high performance computing cluster. The analysis will start with raw reads and go through some very basic analyses of population genetic structure. The core learning goal is to familiarize attendees with the steps necessary to analyze RAD-seq data, the tools available, common data formats, and possible pitfalls they may encounter.

     

    Topic: Virtual HPC Introduction 
    Dates: 
    December 7, 2020 
    Time: 8:30– 12:00pm 
    Location: Online
    Cost: $50

    For anyone who is new to Linux programming and "High Performance Computing (HPC)" with keen interest in using Xanadu computational resources in their analysis. This workshop is aimed to train new and existing novice users. The workshop will start with hands on training of Linux and then the participants will be introduced with HPC concepts and will be trained to run interactive sessions, job submission (Batch and Array), job monitoring Running R and python sessions etc.

      

    Don’t forget our bi-weekly CBC Data Therapy Sessions!
