W2: Using NGS Analysis Tools
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesHigh-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 “universal” aspects of high-throughput sequence analysis—from experimental design to sequencing and alignment methods. Next, this workshop covers common file formats for sequence data and limitations of sequencing technologies. We will […]
W18: Advanced Python
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesThis workshop will cover some more advanced topics in python including an overview of object-oriented python (this will not be an in-depth course on object-oriented programming), 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, […]
W17: Machine Learning with Python
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesThis workshop will cover the basic principles involved in the applications mentioned above, such as pattern recognition, linear and non-linear regression and cluster analysis. The workshop will be oriented towards hands-on activities, starting from the basics of how to load and prepare biological datasets in a Python environment.
W16: Library Prep for NGS
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesThis 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 […]
W21: Image Processing for Microscopy
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesThe 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 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 […]
