Subject: Summer Bioinformatic Training Workshop Description: The Bioinformatics Core will be teaching a “Bioinformatics Crash Course” workshop July 21-25. This new workshop will teach participants about the latest Next Generation Methods, Tools, and Techniques and will cover: NGS Sequencing Platforms (Illumina, Pac Bio, etc.) Raw data quality control and processing De novo genome assembly RNA-seq differential expression analysis Transcriptome assembly Variant detection (SNP and indels) Cloud Computing Experimental Design Linux and python training HPC utilization and job submission This hand-on workshop will provide training on the most common aspects of NGS analysis and methodology. Participants should have an understating of general biological concepts but no bioinformatics knowledge is required. The course will begin with an introduction to the command line and using High Performance Computer Clusters (HPCC, DeepThought2). By combining lectures with hands-on examples participants will gain an understanding of the most common bioinformatic workflows and tools. Who should attend: Undergrads, Grad Students, Post-docs, and Faculty that want to learn the basic tools and techniques involved in NGS analysis and bioinformatics. This workshop will be held at UMD-College Park from 9am - 4pm. The workshop will be limited to 25 participants in order to provide the most one-on-one training possible. This workshop is open to anyone who may be interested please feel free to share the announcement with colleagues at other institutions or research groups.
