2401 North Tower, Chemistry Building
Publishers and grant funders increasingly require data and code sharing to bolster open science and research reproducibility. Wondering how your documentation and communication workflows stack up? Join our workshop to play with LEGOs® while honing skills to make your data, methods, analyses, and code reproducible. We’ll cover tools and strategies to incorporate reproducibility into your existing workflows. Bring your lunch! Light snacks and drinks will be provided.
Bioinformatics Café @ CHTC
Genome Assembly Tutorial + Co-Working
April 8th, 2:30pm–4:30pm
Join CHTC facilitators at the Bioinformatics Café for a tutorial on genome assembly using Oxford Nanopore sequencing data on CHTC! This session focuses on practical strategies for assembling genomes from long-read Nanopore data using shared computing resources. We’ll discuss how to run long-read assemblers efficiently, manage large input datasets, and take advantage of CHTC’s high-memory and high-throughput capabilities to move beyond laptop- or lab-server–scale assemblies.
