How to manage biological data and use computational methods to power life science research

Advanced Python for Biologists 2021

This Advanced level workshop is ideal for researchers and technical workers with a background in biology and a basic knowledge of Python, to develop bigger or more complicated programs and increase skills and knowledge about the language, including object-oriented approaches to programming.

Single-Cell RNAseq Training Course 2021

Providing an introduction to single-cell genomics, this course is for researchers who are new to bioinformatics and are planning a single-cell project.

EI Innovate 2021: Linking datasets and bioscience

Through effectively linking datasets we can accelerate bioscience and deliver the key innovations needed to improve food security, environmental management, conservation, health and wellbeing.

Microbial Community Analysis Workshop 2022

Microbiome analysis going from samples, to sequencing, to numerical ecology analysis

Genome Annotation Workshop 2022

This 3-day course will help to provide scientists with an overview of eukaryotic genome annotation approaches, covering advances in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies, transcriptome assembly, best practice guidance for building gene models utilising short and long read sequencing data or cross species proteins, how to integrate and assess different gene models and create a publication/release ready gene set.
