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.

W8: Variant Calling with GATK

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

This workshop uses materials developed by the Broad Institute to teach Variant Discovery with GATK.  Attendees with no prior experience in variant calling are recommended to review all of the materials below before coming to the workshop. This early preparation will allow a focus on the specific issues of running GATK on the UCLA hoffman2 […]

W9: Intro to Python

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

This workshop will cover the basic concepts of Python programming. The course is supplemented with many hands-on exercises with emphasis given towards computational biology use cases.

W1: Unix command line I

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

Unix is a command-line-based platform that is a highly powerful and flexible tool for data management and analysis. First, this workshop introduces the basic concepts of UNIX operating system and shell scripting. We will explore essential hands-on skills to confidently use the command line interface on either a local (laptop) or a remote (hoffman2 cluster) […]

W2: Using NGS Analysis Tools

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

High-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 […]
