Galaxy for Translational Research

Monday6th –Wednesday 8thFebruary 2017

final vs 170125

Introduction

The course will focus on using the Galaxy platform ( to analyse data from DNAseq and RNAseq experiments and provide the scientist a platform to communicate the output of an analysis back to the research team using iReport in Galaxy.

Audience

This training of is aimed at giving the clinical research scientists who is non-bioinformatician the necessary skills to understand and successfully work with next-generation sequencing (NGS) data.

This course will be in held in computer room Ee-15.28, on the 15th floor of the Ee-building, Bioinformatics dept., Medical Faculty, Erasmus MC. Note: participants from outside need a pass because the Ee tower will be closed for people not working at Erasmus MC. We will give their names in advance to the guard and you can pick up your pass with your name every morning at the 3rd floor in the Ee tower, at the porter’s lodge.

ECTS

After completing the course, signing the attendance list every morning and handing in the evaluation form at the end of the course you will get a certificate for 1,0 ECTS.

Course objectives

The course will be given as a series of lectures and practical’s designed such that by the end of the course the participant will expected to know:

  • What is and how to use Galaxy for data analysis
  • How to analyse DNAseqandRNAseq experiments
  • How to create and interpret an integrative cancer study (SNV, CNV and SV)
  • How to analyse microbiota NGS
  • FAIR Data Management and Analysis
  • Bring Your Own Data (BYOD) – analyse your own data
