24-28 Sep 2018, France

A course is being organized in Montpellier, hosted by the French ELIXIR Node and in cooperation with the nodes involved in ELIXIR-EXCELERATE task 10.3 “Capacity Building in Genome Assembly and Annotation”. Some of the most experienced assembly and annotation experts in Europe will be teaching at the course.

The course is aimed at researchers interested in learning more about genome assembly and annotation. It will include information useful for both the beginner and the more advanced user. We will start by introducing general concepts and then continue to step-by-step describe all major components of a genome assembly and annotation workflow, from raw data all the way to a final assembled and annotated genome. There will be a mix of lectures and hands-on practical exercises using command line Linux. After the course the participants will be aware of common practices and commonly used tools and be able to run assembly and annotation projects on their own.

Prerequisites:

• knowledge of using command line Linux
• prepare info about your own project and tentatively bring your own data

Registration and venue

Time: Friday 21st February, 09:00-15:30
Place: University of Tromsø, Medisin og helsefagbygget: Undervisningsrom (U.09.309)
Format: Bring your laptop!!!

You can register for the course by following this link .

We are pleased to announce the first Data Management workshop for Life Science projects organised in Tromsø by ELIXIR Norway . The topic is on how you can generate a data management plan for a research project that will meet the requirements of the funding organisations. You will get the opportunity to set up a data management plan for your project using the ELIXIR Norway Data Steward Wizard (DSW) tool. DSW is more flexible and provides more domain specific templates than the easyDMP offered by Uninett/Sigma2.

Course content:

• Requirements from the funding bodies and legal requirements
• Licensing of data, biological material and software
• Information on national and local storage infrastructures
• Relevant deposition repositories (data archives)
• Hands on training and assistance to generate a data management plan

Requirements:

• Bring your laptop
• Optionally you can also bring your research project (if you have one)

The intended audience are researchers (PhD candidates, post doctoral fellows, researchers, Associate Professor, professor) that are planning to submit a grant application for a research project.

Teachers:

•     Korbinian Bösl
•     Erik Hjerde
•     Nils Peder Willassen

ELIXIR TtR course: Basic genomics using advanced analysis tools

Genomic Data Science with Galaxy

Dec 20-21, University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Medicine, Ljubljana (Slovenia)

Galaxy is an open source, web-based platform for data intensive biomedical research. The Galaxy Platform provides user friendly software for producing reproducible genomic pipelines for data analysis. This workshop will provide a 2 day introductory session to Galaxy software system.

The course will be in English.

Registration:

• register here
• the limit of participants is 20
• the course is free of charge

This course will focus on introducing the Galaxy user interface and how it can be used for basic genomic analyses. Sessions will be intensive and hands-on, and taught by experienced instructors from the Galaxy Community. We will cover the basic features of Galaxy, including where to find tools, how to import and use your data, and an introduction to workflows. This session is recommended for anyone who has not used, or only rarely uses Galaxy.

Program topics:

• Quick introduction to Galaxy GUI
• From peaks to genes
  
• Reference-based RNA-seq - Quality control
• Reference-based RNA-Seq - Sequencing
  

Lecturers will be Christophe Antoniewski and Olivier Inizan from ELIXIR France.

Course is organised by ELIXIR Slovenia in collaboration with ELIXIR France.

ELIXIR is an European ESFRI priority research infrastructure for bioinformatics that provides databases, (software) tools, services and training (including training materials) for information, cloud storage and supercomputers in the area of life sciences. It coordinates, develops, integrates and sustains life science (bioinformatics) resources across Europe.

Prerequisites:

• Wi-Fi enabled laptop with a modern web browser. Latest versions of Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera will work best.
