SUMMARY:Genomics Data Carpentry
DESCRIPTION:Monday March 17 – Tuesday March 18\, 2025\, from 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM both days\nRegistration is open!\nWorkshop website\n\nThis online-only workshop is intended for people working with high-throughput sequencing data and focuses on helping them upgrade their workflow from relying on spreadsheets and GUI platforms to using command-line tools and accessing remote computing power. Learners will be introduced to core Bash commands and will learn to write custom Bash scripts to automate an analysis pipeline. They will be introduced to some commonly used command-line bioinformatics tools and file formats. This workshop does not cover individual methods for working with RNA-seq\, ChIP-seq\, or other specialized datasets\, but instead focuses on core principles for efficient and reproducible research with sequencing data.
