-
Co-hosted by Genomics Aotearoa and NeSI, this online introductory workshop will help you get started with R for genomic data analysis. Specifically, attendees can expect to learn:
The basic features of the R language
Getting started with tabular data Aggregating and analysing data
Are you working with big data? Do you need to pass your data through various software? Oh wait! Have I updated this output file? If you’ve ever been in this situation, you would know that it can become quite difficult to maintain consistency and accuracy. The more manual steps we execute, the more human errors that are inevitably introduced into our analysis - hampering accuracy and reproducibility. In this hands-on workshop, you will be guided through an introduction to Snakemake, a workflow language with its basis in the popular programming language, Python. Attendees can expect to learn:
The benefits of using Snakemake or other workflow languages,
How to create a workflow to organize your computations, and
How an HPC scheduler (such as Slurm) fits into your workflow
