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:
 

Research Data Management: your ally on the way to your publication


In this course you will learn how to use Research Data Management (RDM) in order to improve the writing of your publications and potentially increase its impact.
 

Starting from basic concepts together with hands-on activities and discussions, during two days you will learn how to standardize, document and submit your data in a repository and how all of this will help you to underpin your publication!
 

Objectives

Nextflow for reproducible and automated data analysis


You will learn how to use Nextflow for building scalable and reproducible bioinformatics pipelines and running them on a personal computer, cluster and cloud. Starting from the basic concepts we will build our own simple pipeline and add new features with every step, all in the new DSL2 language.

 

Objectives:

Docker and Singularity (Apptainer) for reproducible and automated data analysis


The course will give an introduction to containers (Docker & Singularity) which are great components to achieve portability and reproducibility of your analysis. You will learn how to use containers and how to build a container from scratch, share it with others and how to re-use and modify existing containers. After an extensive explanation on Docker containers, Singularity will be highlighted as well.
 

 Objectives

 

Design your training material in a FAIR way

This 2 day course is based on the FAIR training handbook and 10 simple rules to make material FAIR publication.
 

All sessions are structured in a way that complement each other aiming to introduce participants with a theoretical & hands-on approach of how to design FAIR training material.

Progress for WorkflowHub

A significant milestone for WorkflowHub was reached with the integration of the nf-core community workflows into the registry.

Introduction to the analysis of NGS data

This training is an introduction to a series of trainings on the analysis of Next Generation Sequencing data. This training is intended for newbies in the field who can learn all the background knowledge required to successfully complete the advanced NGS analysis trainings. To this end the training will give an overview of:

 

- The Illumina platform

- NGS data formats and file handling

- Quality control of NGS data

- Mapping of NGS data

- Supporting IT: Galaxy platform

 

Bulk RNASeq: from counts to differential expression

This course will show tools to generate count files like featureCounts, and htseq count. Count files from HTSeq-Count, FeatureCounts, Salmon or Kallisto are used to identify differentially expressed genes. On the second day, participants can analyze their own count files. Issues are solved and questions are answered by experts from the VIB Nucleomics Core.
