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) 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.

 

iRefIndex is a resource based on peptide sequence matching, providing an index of protein interactions available in a number of primary interaction databases (including BIND, BAR, BioGRID, CORUM, DIP, InnateDB, IntAct, HPRD, HuRi, MATRIXDB, MPACT, MPPI and MPIDB, REACTOME, VIRUSHOST, UNIPROTPP, HPIDB, BHF-UCL, and QuickGO).

 

ORVAL (Oligogenic Resource for Variant Analysis) is a tool that allows for the exploration of predicted candidate disease-causing variant combinations, to aid in uncovering the causes of oligogenic diseases.

Gentle hands-on introduction to Python programming

 

This combined 3-day course gently introduces programming to new programmers. There are plenty of opportunities to apply and practice what you learn, and ask questions in a safe place. Furthermore, surprise yourself by building a substantial project over the 3 course weeks. We use the popular Python programming language to prepare you for real-world research application of what you learn.
