W21: Image Processing for Microscopy

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

The analysis of imaging datasets is both exciting and challenging. New and increasingly powerful techniques try to maximize the information derived from multi-dimensional imaging datasets. Yet, every dataset can be a unique analysis challenge, and packages may not always work out-of-the-box. In this workshop, we will explore some popular computational tools to extract quantitative information […]

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 […]

W11: Metagenomics Analysis with Python and R

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

This 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.
