Phylogenomics: Hands-on Workshop |
Nov 08, 2013 |
This workshop will provide a workflow for large scale phylogenomic analyses on High Performance Computing nodes. We will provide a logical workflow, starting from downloading the whole genomes, identifying the orthologs, multiple sequence alignments, trimming and merging alignments, and constructing Maximum Likeli-hood Bayesian phylogenetic tree. |

Basic UNIX for Biologists: Hands-on Workshop |
Aug 29, 2013 |
Understanding the UNIX environment and interface is criti-cal to using bioinformatics programs. This hands-on work-shop will cover some of the basics of using UNIX, including basic UNIX commands, file manipulation techniques, and running programs on RCAC clusters. The workshop comprises three sections, each of which ad-dresses different levels of UNIX computing. The first sec-tion concentrates on teaching basic skills necessary to use the UNIX environment; the second section teaches necessary skills to perform routine file manipulations and the third section will serve as an introduction to the serv-ers and computational resources available at RCAC/ITaP at Purdue as well as utilizing them to run some simple next generation sequence analysis programs. |

Introduction to Galaxy: Hands-on Workshop |
Oct 22, 2012 |
Galaxy is an open, web-based platform for data intensive biological research that enables nonbioinformaticians to create, run, tune,and share their own bioinformatic analyses. This hands-on workshop will teach participants how to integrate data,and perform simple and complex analysis within Galaxy. They will also cover data visualization and visual analytics, and how to share and reuse your bioinformatic analyses, all from within Galaxy. |

Beginning Unix for Bioinformatics : Seminar |
April 12, 2012 |
We will discuss how to get started using computational resources from the ITaP Rosen Center and the Purdue Bioinformatics Core. These computers use Linux and other Unix-like Operating Systems. Practical advice and background for using these Unix servers is the focus of this talk. About 20 common Unix commands for managing, cre-ating, viewing and extracting information from data files will be discussed and demonstrated. Simple exam-ples using genomic sequencing will be used to illustrate some commands. Tips for working with Unix servers using software run-ning on Windows workstations will be discussed. The intended audience for this presentation are scien-tists and students who want to start using bioinfor-matics tools at Purdue but who have little or no experi-ence working with Unix servers at the command line.

An Introduction to Next Generation Sequencing – Chemistry, Data Files and Applications |
Feb 29, 2012 |
This is the first in a series of seminars to be con-ducted by the Bioinformatics Core during the year. This seminar is to serve as an introduction to Roche GS-FLX (454) and Illumina sequencing sample types and chemistries, output data file formats, measures of quality, and a very brief overview of applications. The file formats dis-cussed will be FASTA, FASTQ, SAM, GTF/GFF, BED and Wig. This seminar will set the stage for subsequent seminars and hands-on workshops and application specific in-depth analysis. Target audience: Those completely unfamiliar with high throughput sequencing and NGS data.Please note that this is not a hands-on workshop on how to use any specific software package(s). |
