Variant Analysis Online Course, 6-9 February 2023DescriptionPLEASE SIGN UP HERE BEFORE PAYING FOR THIS COURSE This course aims to provide an introduction to the principles of short variant discovery (both germline and somatic) from short-read data. We will look at a complete workflow, from data QC to functional interpretation of variant calls. The practical sessions will focus on running the GATK pipeline from the Broad Institute. Instructors: Frances Turner & the Edinburgh Genomics Bioinformatics Team Venue: Online Requirements: This course is intended for researchers who need to analyse genomic data in order to call genomic variants. Aside from a basic understanding of molecular biology, attendees must have a working knowledge of how to use the Linux BASH command line - our 1-day "Linux for bioinformatics" course is a suitable background. https://genomics.ed.ac.uk/services/variant-analysis
RNA-seq Data Analysis 24-27 April 2023DescriptionPLEASE SIGN UP HERE BEFORE PAYING FOR THIS COURSE Edinburgh Genomics: RNA-seq Data Analysis RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become the method of choice for transcriptome profiling. Nevertheless, it is a non-trivial task to transform the vast amount of data obtained with high-throughput sequencers into useful information. Thus, RNA-seq data analysis is still a major bottleneck for most researchers in this field. The ability to correctly interpret RNA-seq results, as well as knowledge of the intrinsic properties of these data, are essential to avoid incorrect experimental designs and the application of inappropriate analysis methodologies. The aim of this workshop is to familiarise researchers with RNA-seq data and to initiate them in the analysis by providing lectures and practicals on analysis methodologies. In the practicals Illumina-generated sequencing data and various widely used software programs will be used. Instructors: Urmi Trivedi, Frances Turner, Nathan Medd Workshop format The workshop consists of presentations and hands-on tutorials. Who should attend Graduates, postgraduates, and PIs, who are using, or planning to use, RNA-seq technology in their research and want to learn how to process and analyse RNA-seq data. Requirements A general understanding of molecular biology and genomics. A https://genomics.ed.ac.uk/services/rna-seq-data-analysis-0
School of Biological SciencesImage Analysis CourseDescriptionAn image is more than a pretty picture. It contains data that can be extracted and quantified. During the five half-day course, students learn about the structure of an image –what a good image is- as well as different techniques to extract data in 2d, over time and in 3D. The software that we’ll use are all freeware: Fiji, Ilastik, CellProfiler. Students get typical images, course notes and access to recording. Instructors: Matthieu Vermeren Please give me the name of your PI and the Centre/institute where you are working. Bonus points to those that give their grant number! Pre-requisites: You will need to install the following software: Location: wherever you have access to a computer and a good internet. https://www.ed.ac.uk/regenerative-medicine/about/facilities/imaging
Introduction to Linux for Genomics Online Training Course, 8-9 March 2023DescriptionPLEASE SIGN UP HERE BEFORE PAYING FOR THIS COURSE Edinburgh Genomics: Introduction to Linux for Genomics Genomic studies produce vast amounts of data, usually in the form of very large text files. Linux is particularly suited to working with such files, and is therefore arguably one of the most important tools in a bioinformatician’s toolkit. The Linux command-line enables one to view, Instructors:Tim Booth & Nathan Medd Workshop format Who should attend https://genomics.ed.ac.uk/services/introduction-linux-genomics
