TITLE: "Computational Methods for Trancriptional Regulation" Hosted by Jingyi Jessica Li for Bioinformatics
This workshop (UNIX Command Line II) continues Workshop W1: UNIX Command Line I and uses the Hoffman2 campus computing cluster. The focus is on features that make dealing with large files or large numbers of files or repetitive tasks easier. These include shell variables, substitutions, redirections, pipes, loops, conditionals, subshells, shell functions, and shell scripts. […]
TITLE: "Intra-genomic conflict and the evolution of genome integrity” Hosted by Kirk Lohmueller for Genetics & Genomics
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 […]
This 3-day interactive workshop introduces the overarching principles guiding generative modeling and specifically Large-Scale Language Models (LLM), their application in Python for inference, and specific use-cases in Genomics. Experience with Python is necessary, and basic knowledge about ML workflows is preferred. At the end of this workshop, you WILL be comfortable with loading, inferencing and […]
TITLE: “AI and the Healthcare Safety Net” Hosted by William Hsu for Medical Informatics
Spatial transcriptomics is an emerging field that bridges molecular biology and anatomy. Over the last decade, a battery of assays have been developed that profile gene expression in-situ, i.e, measuring the abundances of mRNA molecules in cells and tissues while retaining information about their spatial locations. This workshop will introduce the basic concepts, major techniques, […]
TITLE: TBD Hosted by Grace Xiao for Bioinformatics
Mergeomics is a computational tool designed to elucidate the underlying pathways, networks, and key regulators of complex diseases by integrating multi-omics data (genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, etc). With use of integrative omics concepts and network modeling methods, this tool can uncover disease-associated gene sets and biological pathways across omics layers and can identify key drivers […]
This workshop aims to provide skills needed to address principles of the assay, quality assessment, sequencing depth, data processing and functional downstream analyses of ChIP-seq datasets. Students will have opportunities to practice hands-on with state-of-the-art analytical tools.
