SUMMARY:RNA-Seq Analysis II - Day Two
DESCRIPTION:RNA sequencing uses next-generation sequencing to reveal the presence and quantity of RNA in a biological sample at a given moment. First\, this workshop introduces key tools developed for analysis of gene expression data from read counts to biology using R. To facilitate learning\, we will use a real case-study-based approach appropriate for Illumina read data (same as RNA-seq I).

SUMMARY:RNA-Seq Analysis I - Day Three
DESCRIPTION:RNA sequencing is used to examine the continuously changing cellular transcriptome. First\, this workshop provides an introduction and the basics tools to process raw RNA-seq data on a cluster machine (Hoffman2). This workshop can serve as a starting point to develop a gene expression project. To facilitate learning\, we will explore a hands-on tutorial that guides students in processing the data from raw reads through read counts. We will use a real-case study-based approach appropriate for Illumina read data.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Modern Statistics - Day Three
DESCRIPTION:Workshop attendees will walk away knowing when and how to run modern versions of traditional statistical analysis. First\, this workshop introduces tests and underlying bioinformatical lessons about resampling which are useful to most scientific disciplines. This workshop makes no assumptions about familiarity with traditional statistics; we will simply go through relatable experimental examples and ask how to test various hypotheses\, introducing the relevant methods along the way. Next\, this workshop covers how to best deal with common questions in experimental analysis: What tests can be applied to small sample sizes? When can one assume linearity in the data? What to do with non-Gaussian data / residuals? How does one best detect and justify removing outliers? Which estimators are appropriate with highly non-continuous samples?

SUMMARY:Introduction to R - Day Three
DESCRIPTION: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 workshop is geared toward those with little or no prior experience with R. Next\, this workshop covers an introduction to Bioconductor (www.bioconductor.org)\, which provides tools for the analysis of high throughput genomic data. If you are interested in any particular R/Bioconductor topic\, please contact the instructor in advance; effort will be made to cover topics of general interest.

We will conduct hands-on tutorials throughout the session\, giving attendees a chance to see R in action. This workshop is geared toward those with little or no prior experience with R. Next\, this workshop covers an introduction to Bioconductor (www.bioconductor.org)\, which provides tools for the analysis of high throughput genomic data. If you are interested in any particular R/Bioconductor topic\, please contact the instructor in advance; effort will be made to cover topics of general interest.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Modern Statistics - Day One
DESCRIPTION:Workshop attendees will walk away knowing when and how to run modern versions of traditional statistical analysis. First\, this workshop introduces tests and underlying bioinformatical lessons about resampling which are useful to most scientific disciplines. This workshop makes no assumptions about familiarity with traditional statistics; we will simply go through relatable experimental examples and ask how to test various hypotheses\, introducing the relevant methods along the way. Next\, this workshop covers how to best deal with common questions in experimental analysis: What tests can be applied to small sample sizes? When can one assume linearity in the data? What to do with non-Gaussian data / residuals? How does one best detect and justify removing outliers? Which estimators are appropriate with highly non-continuous samples?

SUMMARY:Introduction to Unix - Day Three
DESCRIPTION:Unix is a command-line-based platform that is a highly powerful and flexible tool for data management and analysis. First\, this workshop introduces the basic concepts of UNIX operating system and shell scripting. We will explore essential hands-on skills to confidently use the command line interface on either a local (laptop) or a remote (hoffman2 cluster) computer running the Unix system. Next\, this workshop covers how to navigate around the Unix file system from the command line and use a number of basic\, common Unix commands. The course is supplemented with many hands-on examples. No prior knowledge of Unix or programming is required.

SUMMARY:Advanced Python - Day Three
DESCRIPTION:Python can be used to handle large datasets\, and is useful in manipulating data and plotting data trends for visual presentation. First\, this workshop introduces several more advanced topics in Python\, such as a brief overview of object-oriented Python\, use of the numpy and pandas libraries (Python libraries for efficient handling of large numeric and heterogenous datasets)\, and matplotlib for plotting results. At the end of this workshop\, students will better understand the python data structures for handling large datasets and will have some knowledge of how to manipulate these data and plot them for presentation.

SUMMARY:Using NGS Analysis Tools - Day Three
DESCRIPTION: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 ÒuniversalÓ aspects of high-throughput sequence analysisÑfrom experimental design to sequencing and alignment methods. Next\, this workshop covers common file formats for sequence data and limitations of sequencing technologies. We will explore a hands-on exercise using the Hoffman2 cluster and will use programs designed to analyze read data\, clean artifact and low-quality sequences\, and align short reads to a reference genome. At the end of this workshop\, students will better understand the logic behind how many of these steps work. Students who are comfortable working with the command line will find this course significantly easier than those who are inexperienced in command-line interface. While Workshop 1 is not an absolute requirement\, it is highly recommended for any student who is not already experienced working in a command line environment. A student who takes this workshop at the same time as Workshop 1 should not find any problems with timing of material between these two classes.
