The Computational Biology Core within the Institute for Systems Genomics is pleased to announce following workshops!
Workshop description and registration link can be found here: https://bioinformatics.uconn.edu/cbc-workshops/
Workshop: Virtual HPC Introduction
Dates: November 8, 2021 (1 day)
Time: 8.30am - 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.
Workshop: Virtual Genome Assembly
Dates: November 8-11 (4 days)
Time: 9.00am - 12.00pm
Location: Online
Cost: $350 (UConn affiliates including UConn Health)
$483 (External Participants)
For anyone with keen interest in Genome Assembly methods.
Day 1: Introduction to Linux, HPC, HTS
Day 2-4 : Introduction to k-mer plots, high throughput sequencing, quality control of sequence data, contaminant detection, Genome assembly strategies and short-read assembly, Long-read and hybrid assembly, post-processing, assembly benchmarking
This workshop is not pre-recorded and at least two instructors are available to assist users as we walk through the tutorials.
