Course ELIXIR Norway: Using the Norwegian e-infrastructure for Life Science and usegalaxy.no 2022

Online course on using the Norwegian e-infrastructure for Life Science (NeLS) and the national supported Galaxy (usegalaxy.no). The course will consist of lessons covering the necessary topics alternating with hands-on sessions to gain practical experience. It is organised by ELIXIR Norway (https://www.elixir-norway.org/).

The topic is on how you can use NeLS (nels.bioinfo.no) to store and share data, and to run analyses via customisable analysis workflows in usegalaxy.no. You will practice on transferring data between NeLS and usegalaxy.no, and to construct and run a complete sequence analysis workflow in usegalaxy.no.
