APPLIED COMPUTATIONAL GENOMICS COURSE
Genome Canada
APPLIED COMPUTATIONAL GENOMICS COURSE September 8-14, 2006, University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (International attendees welcome!) ------------------------------------------------------ Bioinformatics in the post-genomic era requires the analysis of large and diverse datasets using automated tools. While many Web-based tools are available to the lab researcher, the Web is awkward for tasks beyond single-sequence annotation. Researchers need to become productive in a server-based Unix environment with its wealth of scripting and automation tools. Even at an entry-level, this can be an intimidating endeavor. The Genome Canada Bioinformatics Platform is empowering researchers by teaching a hands-on course, with lectures and tutorials presented by a panel of experts. The course uses* tools and services available through the Genome Canada Bioinformatics Platform. Most tools used are open-source, and can be freely downloaded for use at one's home institution. Topics include (tentative): Becoming a power user o Basic Unix skills on a network-centric desktop o BIRCH: Working with sequence datasets on a comprehensive bioinformatics system o BIRCH: Creating your own in-house bioinformatics system Creating automated data pipelines o Perl scripting: Quick automation of data analysis tasks and utilization of web services o BioPerl; Object-oriented Perl; Data warehousing - the SeqHound API o BioMOBY: a transparent software layer that automatically finds and uses web services High throughput genome annotation o TimeLogic Decypher* and Paracel Gene Matcher* o MAGPIE, BLUEJAY* : Automated genome analysis, annotation and visualization* o OSPREY: High-throughput oligonucleotide design Canadian Bioinformatics Help Desk Secure use of remote bioinformatics systems: o command line: ssh, sftp, scp,*tar,*gzip o remote desktop: VNC For more information about this workshop go to: http://www.gcbioinformatics.ca/training |
