The main goal of the course is to increase IT competences of researchers and encourage them to use Euler cluster for bioinformatic analyses: independently or together with a bioinformatician in a co-analysis mode. The participants are expected to work on own laptops, using a terminal to connect to the cluster. After the course there are planned time slots, when the participants can discuss or work on solutions for their own data analysis issues with the instructors.
The course includes most of the material of the module Getting started with the scientific cluster as well information on how to run simple and more complex analyses of various -omics data on the cluster.
This is the basic, one-day course. It enables participants later to take part in the follow-up course on Snakemake workflows and advanced aspects of the bioinformatics on the cluster, which is announced separately.
Prerequisites
This course is designed for biologists and does not require any particular knowledge.
To follow the course, a participant needs
- a valid ETH account
- a local computer with SSH client
Content
The content of the course is structured as follows:
- Genomic data and data formats
- Bioinformatic software tools on the cluster
- Introduction to Euler and HPC
- Hands-on exercise with the cluster: simple RNA sequencing data processing and analysis
Course fee, registration and cancellation
This course is free of charge and open only to ETH members. The registration is mandatory as number of participants is limited.
If registered participants cannot join the workshop, deregistration is required. Please write Michal Okoniewski to cancel your registration.
