• W2: Using NGS Analysis Tools

    529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    High-throughput sequencing technology involves a number of concepts and techniques that shape a project before application-specific processes are utilized. First, this workshop introduces the more “universal” aspects of high-throughput sequence […]

  • W18: Advanced Python

    529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    This workshop will cover some more advanced topics in python including an overview of object-oriented python (this will not be an in-depth course on object-oriented programming), use of the numpy […]

  • W3: Intro to R and Data Visualization

    529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    R (www.r-project.org) is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. First, this workshop introduces basic concepts, syntax, and usage in R programming, statistical analysis, and visualization techniques. We will conduct hands-on tutorials throughout the session, giving attendees a chance to see R in action. This course is a pre-requisite for several other Collaboratory […]

  • W17: Machine Learning with Python

    529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    This workshop will cover the basic principles involved in the applications mentioned above, such as pattern recognition, linear and non-linear regression and cluster analysis. The workshop will be oriented towards hands-on activities, starting from the basics of how to load and prepare biological datasets in a Python environment.

  • W16: Library Prep for NGS

    529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    This workshop will cover the basis of Next-Gen Sequencing Library Preparation for Illumina Sequencers. Different Library Preparation Techniques (DNA-seq, ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, Methyl-seq) are explained the first and second day in class. The third day, Quality Control steps of the starting input material and final libraries are performed in the Lab (TapeStation). Purification from Primer Dimers […]

  • W14: Intro to Modern Statistics with R

    529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Through this seminar, attendees will walk away knowing when and how to run modern versions of traditional statistical analysis. These tests and the underlying bioinformatical lesson about resampling will be of use to most scientific disciplines. The course makes no assumptions about familiarity with traditional statistics – we will simply go through relatable experimental examples […]
