This is a self-paced course that gently introduces programming to new programmers over a 6 week period. There are plenty of opportunities to practice what you learn and ask questions in a safe place. Furthermore, surprise yourself by building a substantial project.

Each week there are some optional online interactive “lab” sessions for Q&A and problem solving. The 5 lab sessions will be live, but more may be scheduled with our trainers at different times or in-person depending on your needs.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

This foundational course provides a comprehensive journey through the various stages of machine learning model development and deployment. Attendees will learn how to transition models from academic research to practical applications. They will work how important is to have clear idea about what they will find in real scenarios when they have to face to the task to deploy a machine learning model.

This introduction to functional analysis will elucidate the biology behind genes and reveal the significance of your data. Online tools to annotate and analyse human and plant datasets, such as Gene Ontology Enrichment Analysis and Pathways Analysis, will be used to unravel the meaning of your gene set.

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:

This two-day workshop will introduce the basic concepts of comparative and functional -omics data analysis in plants through lectures and practical hands-on sessions. Plant biologists and geneticists with an interest in bioinformatics and data analysis are encouraged to attend this training.  After this workshop, you will have a good understanding of the organisation of plant genomes (gene colinearity and synteny), the evolution of plant gene families, orthologs and (in)paralogs, and the different systems used to describe gene functions.

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:
