ELIXIR Rare Disease Community services and international collaborations

1 January 2022 - 31 December 2023

The ELIXIR Rare Disease (RD) Community will continue to be committed to the International Rare Disease Research Consortium (IRDiRC) Vision for 2027: Enable all people living with a rare disease to receive an accurate diagnosis, care, and available therapy within one year of coming to medical attention.

The Federated EGA framework: supporting sensitive data management across the ELIXIR Nodes

1 January 2022 - 31 December 2023

The main goal for the ELIXIR Federated Human Data (FHD) Community is to position the Federated EGA (FEGA) framework as the core infrastructure driver to support human data sharing for research use-cases from nationally, European Commission, and/or internationally funded human health data sharing projects.

Introduction to Git & GitHub

 

This workshop will take you through the basic use of Git and GitHub. Git is a free and open source distributed version-control system designed to maintain code, track changes, recover old versions and collaborate with other developers.

 

Get you started with Git from zero (note that if you already use Git, this workshop will be too basic for you). We'll explore Git on the command-line and its interaction with GitHub. The following points will be addressed:

 

  •     Introduction, set-up & configurations

Gentle hands-on introduction to Python programming

This course introduces Python programming and is organised online over three full days (3, 10, 17 August). With the help of plenty hands-on exercises, you will get introduced into the different types of variables in Python, the peculiarities of Python and good programming habits. This course will provide you an ideal stepping stone for further developing programming skills in Python. More info and registration.
 

AgroServ

1 September 2022 - 31 August 2027

Integrated SERVices supporting a sustainable AGROecological transition (AgroServ) is a €15 million Horizon Europe project, coordinated by AnaEE. The project aims to provide access to integrated research services to the European research communities to advance knowledge on agroecosystems, increase the understanding of the risks and threats due to global changes and foster the development of new agroecological practices.

EuroScienceGateway

1 September 2022 - 31 August 2025

The EuroScienceGateway project aims to leverage a distributed computing network across 13 European countries, accessible via 6 national user-friendly web portals (Galaxy), facilitating access to compute and storage infrastructures across Europe as well as to data, tools, workflows and services that can be customized to suit researchers' needs. The project is a collaboration between 18 organisations and coordinated by the University of Freiburg.

Genomic Data Infrastructure

1 November 2022 - 31 October 2026

The Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) project brings together national agencies, research organisations, and technology providers from 20 European countries to facilitate a cross-border federated network of national genome collections for biomedical research and personalised medicine solutions.

Belgian Genome Biobank

1 May 2022 - 30 April 2026

The Belgian Genome Biobank (BGB) project, funded by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO), aims to create a genomic resource of the Flemish/Belgian population in a secure compute environment, with the objective of supporting and performing genetic and health studies, in order to enable future research on genetic causes and (risk) factors for human traits, diseases and their environmental interactions.

Bulk RNASeq: from counts to differential expression

 

This 2-day course consists of e-learning on counting, showing tools to generate count files (e.g. FeatureCounts, HTSeq Count) and how these count files are used to identify differentially expressed genes. The course also offers two face-to-face sessions on differential expression analysis in R and all the questions that arise when analysing your own data.

 

Requirements:

 

Introduction to the analysis of NGS data

This training is an introduction to 'Bulk RNA-Seq analysis for differential expression', and 'Hands on introduction to ChIP-Seq analysis'. If you want to follow one of these trainings and you have no experience with NGS data you should follow this introduction first.
