Past events

This introductory level course is intended for people with a biological background but with no previous programming experience. The course introduces basic programming concepts with plenty of opportunity to practice writing code and work on your own data.

Data Carpentry workshops are for any researcher who has data they want to analyse, with no prior computational experience required.

Our goal is to help scientists become more productive by teaching them basic computing skills of program design, version control, testing and task automation.

This workshop is ideal for researchers and technical workers with a background in biology and a basic knowledge of Python, to work with large, complex datasets, mine them for biological insights, and create visualizations to display the results.

Tackling urgent global challenges through pioneering research

This course provides an introduction to single-cell genomics, for researchers who have basic experience of bioinformatics and who are planning a single-cell project.

Providing an opportunity for colleagues across the Norwich Research Park to engage with peers, and find out about the research that happens from PhD Students at the Earlham Institute.

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

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.

FULLY BOOKED - 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.

Learn how to extract DNA from metagenomic samples. prepare libraries, carry out nanopore sequencing and analyse the data.
