This two-day workshop, hosted by the Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) and the Center for Computational Science (CCS) February 23-24, will help scientists who are currently using tools like spreadsheets to start writing small programs to analyze their data in traceable, reproducible ways.
Held from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the basement of the Louis Calder Memorial Library on the Miller School campus, the workshop will focus on working with genomics data. It will start with project organization and will include an introduction to the command line using cloud computing for bioinformatics pipelines as well as an introduction to data analysis and visualization in R.
The format will be a mix of short seminars and hands-on practical exercises. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems during and between sessions.
