Events for March 10 - April 25, 2024
W14: Intro to Modern Statistics with R
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesThrough 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 […]
W1B: Intro to Unix command line II
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesThis 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. […]
W11: Metagenomics Analysis with Python and R
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesThis workshop provides an introduction to the microbiome analyses from the raw sequence data generated from the next-generation sequencing platforms. We will cover how to perform the 16S rRNA-based analysis using an open-source bioinformatics pipeline QIIME. We will also cover some downstream analyses of the microbiome data beyond QIIME, including statistical analyses and functional analyses.
W37: Applications of Large Language Models
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesThis 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 […]
W5a: RNA-seq I Analysis
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesRNA-seq I aims to provide an introduction and the basics tools to process raw RNA-seq data on a cluster machine (Hoffman2). The workshop can serve also as a starting point to develop a gene expression project. This workshop is divided in three days that will cover major steps of processing RNA-seq. To facilitate learning, the […]
W5b: RNA-Seq II Analysis
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesRNA-seq II aims to provide tools for analysis of gene expression data from read counts to biology using R. To facilitate learning, the workshop will use a real case study based approach appropriate for Illumina read data (same as RNA-seq I).
W36: Mergeomics for Multiomics Integration
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesMergeomics 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 […]
