  • The Linux Command Line: From Basic Commands to Shell Scripting 2-2021

    24 - 26 August 2021

    The Linux Command Line: From Basic Commands to Shell Scripting 2-2021 https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/the-linux-command-line-from-basic-commands-to-shell-scripting-2-2021 Educators: Malik Alawi, Ceren Saygi (UKE Bioinformatics Core) (External Training Partner) Date: 24th - 26th June 2021 (14:00-17:00) Location: Online Contents: Nearly all Bioinformatics analyses are best performed using the Linux command line. Many researchers consider this a drawback and choose to learn only the bare minimums required for a certain task or even try to circumvent Linux completely. A common misunderstanding is, that working on the command line is archaic or performed because it is a cheaper alternative to often costly proprietary solutions. However, it is neither antiquated views nor avarice which makes nearly all Bioinformaticians use the command line, but rather its unmatched efficiency and overwhelming power. Topics: - Basic file operations - Working with (large) text files - Using the shell efficiently - Data compression - Working with tables - Regular expressions - Variables and loops - Bash scripting - Common application scenarios of command line usage in a bioinformatics context Learning goals: This three-day course will introduce the Linux command line from scratch. Participants will learn to work efficiently with its tools and they will also learn to automate tasks and write first bash scripts. The focus is on processing (large) texts and tables. Examples will be from the field of genome informatics, but methods taught will be universally applicable. Prerequisites: Participants will join remotely using their personal computers (mobile phones and tablets are not suitable). Installing Linux locally is not required, other recent operating system should also be fine. We will use the conferencing solution Zoom and work in a virtual Linux environment (de.NBI cloud). Keywords: Linux, Bash, Shell, Scripting, Command line Tools: Linux, Command line 2021-08-24 14:00:00 UTC 2021-08-26 17:00:00 UTC de.NBI [] [] [] workshops_and_courses [] []

  • BioC++ - solving daily bioinformatic tasks with C++ efficiently - GCB 2021

    8 September 2021

    BioC++ - solving daily bioinformatic tasks with C++ efficiently - GCB 2021 https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/bioc-solving-daily-bioinformatic-tasks-with-c-efficiently-gcb-2021 Educators: René Rahn, Marcel Ehrhardt, Enrico Seiler (CIBI) Date: 08.09.2020 Location: Online - GCB 2021 Conference Contents: In this half-day tutorial we are going to teach how to use modern C++ and utilise modern C++ libraries to rapidly develop tools and scripts for operating on and manipulating large-scale sequencing data. The high variability and heterogeneity often observed within various genomic data is challenging for many standard tools, for example for read alignment and variant calling. Often, these tools are wrapped in complicated pre- and postprocessing data curation steps in order to obtain results with higher quality. However, these additional steps incur a high maintenance and performance burden to the established work process and often do not scale with larger data sets. Seldomly, C++ is considered as the language of choice for these small processes, although it is the main language used in high-performance computing. We are going to show that implementing modern C++ can be as easy as using other modern high-level languages. Learning goals: Students will develop - skills in developing an application using the C++ programming language - skills in using modern C++ libraries to query large sequence databases (e.g. SeqAn, SDSL, etc.) - knowledge and understanding of modern C++ features, such as ranges and concepts - knowledge and understanding about modern and efficient data structures as well as algorithms crucial for large-scale genomic sequence analysis - knowledge and understanding about how to develop and sustain high-quality software Prerequisites: This tutorial is mostly suited for computational biologist and bioinformaticians with research focus on sequence analysis (e.g., genomics, metagenomics, proteomics, read alignment, variant detection, etc.). A fundamental knowledge about sequencing experiments and the involved data is required. We expect that attendees have an intermediate knowledge in programming with any high-level programming language, e.g. Python, Java or C++. Some basic C++-knowledge is helpful but not mandatory to successfully complete the course. This tutorial is targeting beginners and intermediate C++ developers that want to learn more about modern C++ features like ranges and concepts. Keywords: BioC++, modern C++, bioinformatics, SeqAn, FileIO Tools: - A simple text editor - g++ >= 7 - cmake >= 3.12 - git 2021-09-08 14:00:00 UTC 2021-09-08 17:00:00 UTC de.NBI [] [] [] meetings_and_conferences [] []

  • Bioinformatics tools for analyzing clinical metaproteomics samples of the human gut - GCB 2021

    9 September 2021

    Bioinformatics tools for analyzing clinical metaproteomics samples of the human gut - GCB 2021 https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/bioinformatics-tools-for-analyzing-clinical-metaproteomics-samples-of-the-human-gut-gcb-2021 Educators: Robert Hayer, Kay Schallert, Dirk Benndorf (BiGi / MetaProtServ), Thilo Muth (Associated Partner), Stephan Fuchs (Associated Partner) Date: 09.09.2021 Location: GCB 2021 - Online Contents: Metaproteomics analyzes the entirety of proteins from whole microbial communities such as complex microbiomes from medical and technical applications, e.g., in fecal diagnostics and the operation of biogas plants or wastewater treatment plants. A precondition for successful metaproteomics studies is, in addition to experimental knowledge, comprehensive knowledge about the bioinformatics data evaluation (Heyer et al., 2017). This workshop aims to train people by a hands-on workshop in the required bioinformatics tools and skills required for the complete workflow of metaproteomics data analysis. It starts with identifying peptides and inferring proteins from mass spectrometry data using the MetaProteomeAnalyzer (Muth et al., 2015, Muth et al., 2018, Heyer et al., 2019) and the taxonomic and functional annotation using Prophane (Schiebenhoefer et al. 2020). Subsequently, we will illuminate the biostatistical data analysis and data visualization. As a use case, we selected fecal samples from patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Learning goals: In this workshop, we want to bring together bioinformaticians and researchers working in meta-omics and microbiome-focused disciplines. Prerequisites: Registration on GCB 2021.
