Introduction to Galaxy for Next Generation Sequencing Analysis
This course will introduce you to next generation sequencing technologies (NGS) and how they work, providers, common bioinformatics workflows, standardised file types, quality control. The sessions will include an introduction to Galaxy. Galaxy is an open, web-based platform for data-intensive life science research that enables non-bioinformaticians to create, run, tune, and share their own bioinformatic analyses.

Biological data analysis using InterMine (User Interface and API)
InterMine is a freely available open-source data warehouse built specifically for the integration and analysis of complex biological data.
These are two half day courses organised to run alongside each other.
User Interface Course
This course will focus on the InterMine web interface and will introduce participants to all aspects of the user interface, starting with some simple exercises and building up to more complex analysis encompassing several analysis tools and comparative analysis across organisms.
API Course
This course will focus on programmatic access to InterMine through the API and InterMine searches will be done using Python and R scripts.
These courses are currently not scheduled to run, but for more information and to express your interest please click here for the User Interface Course
