Protecting Your Research: Practices for Sharing with Confidence
Publishing your data can increase the visibility and impact of your research. There are many considerations and options for ensuring your work (intellectual property) is protected. In this session, we will discuss three areas: first, why it’s beneficial to license your data as openly as possible; second, the particular issues and challenges involved in the […]
HBC Current Topics in Bioinformatics: Intermediate Shell
Many tools for the analysis of big data require knowledge of the command line, and this workshop will build on the basic skills taught in the Introduction to Shell workshop to allow for greater automation. This workshop will include lessons on using the command-line text editor, Vim, to create and edit files, utilizing for-loops for automation, […]
Practical Considerations for Managing Sensitive Data
Data sharing is becoming an increasingly prevalent and expected part of the research process. Researchers may be hesitant to share datasets about human subjects, and rightfully so. While some data […]
Introduction to single-cell RNA-seq Data Analysis
Course requirements: Mandatory attendance for all three classes 3-5 hours of reading and exercises from selected lessons before each workshop session Active participation during discussion sessions
Digital Imaging
This workshop focuses on a critical part of every microscope: the detector. Understanding the detector is crucial to understanding microscopy data, especially if you are making measurements on that data. We will cover theoretical principles behind digital images and the devices we use to generate them, including: how digital cameras detect and measure light the differences […]
Intro to MATLAB
TMEC 328Matlab has become the “language of science” in the past few decades. It is simple to use, yet powerful enough to be productive on large computing infrastructures. If you need: 1) Fast prototyping of research ideas; or 2) avoid spending too much time in coding instead of doing real science by taking advantage of Matlab’s […]
Workflows with Posit Connect
Posit Connect (formerly RStudio Connect) will be presenting an overview of workflows with R, R Markdown, Flexdashboard, and Shiny. This short course will provide an introduction to flexible and powerful tools for statistical analysis, reproducible research and interactive visualizations. This session will provide an overview of how to build R Markdown and Shiny applications and […]
Intro to O2 Portal
O2 Portal is web-based access point to O2 powered by Open OnDemand. This short training teaches you the basic functions of O2 Portal, including file transfer, Slurm job submission and […]
Introduction to Image Analysis with ImageJ/Fiji
This workshop introduces general principles in image processing and analysis, as well as practical implementations in ImageJ/Fiji. If you are already somewhat advanced (you code your own workflows), this level is perhaps not for you. You will need a laptop with a decent size screen and admin privileges in order to participate. Topics covered include: […]
Introduction to the Command-Line Interface (Shell, Bash, Unix, Linux) (2023)
Access to tools and computational resources for large-scale data analysis often require knowledge of the command-line interface (also referred to as Unix or Linux or bash or shell). In this 3-day hands-on workshop participants will learn the following: basic shell commands for navigating the file system, exploring file contents, performing basic operations, such as moving, copying, and […]
