Setting up a computer for running bioinformatic analysis can be a challenging process. Most bioinformatic applications involve the use of many different software packages, which are often part of long data processing pipelines. In this course we will teach you how to overcome these challenges by using package managers and workflow management software.

We will have examples of software and pipelines for processing different types of data (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, variant calling and viral genomes), making this course appealing to researchers working in a wide range of applications.

However, please note that we will not cover the details of any specific type of bioinformatic analysis.
The idea of this course is to introduce the computational tools to get your work done, not to teach how those tools work.
We will also not teach you how to write your own pipelines, or create your own software containers, but rather on how to use existing tools to boost your bioinformatic analysis.
