No future instance of this course is planned yet
Overview
The course "High Performance Computing for genomic applications" is organized for the D-BSSE researchers by Scientific IT Services on 23-24 November 2017. The main goal of the course is to increase IT competences of researchers and encourage them to use Euler cluster for bioinformatic analyses: independently or together with a bioinformatician in a co-analysis mode.
Some modules include hands-on exercises, so the participants are expected to bring own laptops. On Friday, Nov 24th there is planned a "hackaton" time slot, when the participants can discuss or work on solutions for their own data analysis issues with the instructors.
Final part of the course is a module "Bioinformatic analysis of immune repertoires from high-throughput sequencing data" delivered by Enkelejda Miho and her colleagues from the Reddy lab.
Application
The classes of the course can be attended or skipped in a "pick-and-mix" mode, depending on the need and skills of the participant, however a registration is required for the full course by filling the form: https://goo.gl/forms/c0ozZyoRpq4x74Kg1
The course is limited to 20 participants, confirmations will be sent after the registration process on first-come-first-served basis.
