Overview

The course "High Performance Computing for genomic applications" is organized for the D-BIOL researchers (including PhD students) by Scientific IT Services on 13-14 December 2018. The main goal of the course is to increase IT competences of researchers and encourage them to use Euler cluster for bioinformatic analyses: independently or together with a bioinformatician in a co-analysis mode.

Some modules include hands-on exercises, so the participants are expected to bring own laptops. On Friday, Dec 14th there is planned a time slot, when the participants can discuss or work on solutions for their own data analysis issues with the instructors.

The course will include on the second day also a module related to cluster use for personalized medicine: "Data & Computing Services for Personalized Health Research"

Application

The classes of the course can be attended or skipped in a "pick-and-mix" mode, depending on the need and skills of the participant, however a registration is required for the full course by filling the form:
