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 workshops. This workshop is geared towards researchers who have little or no experience with R who want to get started with importing data into R…

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 (using AMPure beads) and Library Submission is also performed on the same day. The third day is optional, sign-up is required.

The workshop will mainly focus on teaching the fundamentals of bacterial genomics and basic bioinformatics analysis. As a sample data Vibrio cholerae genome will be used as the practice dataset, and workshop participants will try to reproduce the expected results. The workshop will start with detailed instructions on how to quality control the raw sequence data and the assemble of a genome. Next, basic statistics will be explained to learn how to check the quality of assembledgenome (e.g., N50, #…

TITLE: "Defining chromatin accessibility and molecular dysregulation in Down Syndrome." ABSTRACT: Despite accumulating almost two centuries of medical information, the exact mechanisms underlying Down Syndrome (DS) developmental pathology remain unknown. DS is caused by trisomy of chromosome21 (T21), but without pinpointing the way in which T21 confers molecular dysfunctions and subsequently impairs neurodevelopment, it has been difficult to devise medical interventions that will reduce cognitive deficits. In order to identify these mechanisms in DS and deconvolute the inherent complexity of the…
