Containers and Workflow Pipelines for reproducible and automated data analysis

This is two-day course will give you an insight in Docker & Singularity containers, and the Nextflow analysis pipeline. Containers allow you to easily install bioinformatics software, maintain multiple versions of the same software and combine tools into powerful analysis pipelines. This allows you to perform data analysis without conflicting package dependencies.

ReproHack - A hackathon on reproducible data analysis

 

During this ReproHack – the first one organised in Belgium – participants will attempt to reproduce published research from a list of proposed papers with available code and data. The hackathon stimulates to start working with other people's code and data, and make your own data analysis reproducible. Participants will largely work together and learn from each other. More information and registration.

Galaxy training for Botanical Garden researchers

This 1-day course aims to introduce how to use the Galaxy platform using variant discovery as a use-case. The course is organised in the context of the “Connecting ESFRIs project”. Apart from the offered training, phylogenetic analysis tools are made available in Galaxy. Although initially set-up for Botanical Garden researchers, participants from other research institutes are welcome to attend.

DDA and DIA proteomic analysis in Galaxy

Galaxy enables researchers without bioinformatics expertise to perform computational analyses through the web. This hands-on workshop aims to familiarize you with the Galaxy user interface & execute (label-free) proteomics data-analysis.

The first part of this hands-on workshop will introduce the participants to the Galaxy platform. Basic tasks such as importing data, running tools, working with histories, creating workflows, and sharing of the work will be handled.
