Welcome! GCC2021 training week has ended, but you can still work through the materials on your own!

Welcome everybody, and thank you for joining the GCC training week!

Everything you need for this course can be found on this webpage. More information including links to all training materials can be found by clicking on each session. Please adhere to our Code of Conduct, and have fun!

Schedule

For this training week there is no fixed schedule, instead we provide a set of modules for you to choose from.

  • This week YOU make the schedule, YOU decide which tutorials to follow, and when to start, stop, and take breaks.
  • You do NOT have to complete everything! In fact, this would be impossible! (there are 4 full days of video on this page). You can do as many or as few sessions as you want, and focus on the topics most interesting to you! Everything will stay online forever, so you can always come back after GCC and continue learning!
  • New to Galaxy? We suggest you start with the “Introduction to Galaxy” module, followed by the “Introduction to NGS Analysis” module.
  • Unsure which tutorial to follow? Feel free to ask us for recommendations in Slack!

Lecture & Hands-on Tutorial

After automatically annotating your genome using Prokka or Maker, it is important to visualize your results so you can understand what your organism looks like, and then to manually refine these annotations along with any additional data you might have. This process is most often done as part of a group, smaller organisms may be annotated individually though.

Apollo (Dunn et al. 2019) provides a platform to do this. It is a web-based, collaborative genome annotation editor. Think of it as “Google Docs” for genome annotation, multiple users can work together simultaneously to curate evidences and annotate a genome.

This tutorial is inspired by the Apollo User’s Guide, which provides additional guidance.

Lecture & Hands-on Tutorial

In many eukaryotic organisms, such as humans, the genome is tightly packed and organized with the help of nucleosomes (chromatin). A nucleosome is a complex formed by eight histone proteins that is wrapped with ~147bp of DNA. When the DNA is being actively transcribed into RNA, the DNA will be opened and loosened from the nucleosome complex. Many factors, such as the chromatin structure, the position of the nucleosomes, and histone modifications, play an important role in the organization and accessibility of the DNA. Consequently, these factors are also important for the activation and inactivation of genes. Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-Seq) is a method to investigate the accessibility of chromatin and thus a method to determine regulatory mechanisms of gene expression. The method can help identify promoter regions and potential enhancers and silencers.

Lecture & Hands-on Tutorial

ncbi logo Traditionally, after a list of run accessions has been filtered on the NCBI website, the accessions are used to download and extract fastq using the SRA toolkit to enter into the next steps of the workflow. A newer compressed data type generated from raw submission data for sequences containing hits to SARS-CoV-2 is also accessible to Galaxy users from SRA in the Cloud. SRA Aligned Read Format (SARFs) provides further output options other than basic FASTQ format, for example:
  1. contigs created from the raw reads in the run (FASTA format)
  2. reads aligned back to the contigs (SAM format)
  3. VCF files generated for each record relative to the SARS-CoV-2 RefSeq record.
We will demonstrate how to access just the reads (FASTA or FASTQ format), just the contigs, the reads aligned to the contigs and VCF files for selected SARFs. These formats can speed up workflows such as assembly and variant calling, and this data format is still referenced by the run accession and accessed using the SRA toolkit. This workshop describes the SARF data objects and demonstrates a few ways to filter them using the metadata before accessing them and entering them into Galaxy workflows.

Duo of Hands-on Tutorials

Volcano plots are commonly used to display the results of RNA-seq or other omics experiments. A volcano plot is a type of scatterplot that shows statistical significance (P value) versus magnitude of change (fold change). It enables quick visual identification of genes with large fold changes that are also statistically significant. These tutorials will first teach you how to create such plots from your RNA-Seq results in Galaxy, and then how you can further customized the plots using R directly within Galaxy.

Statistical analyses are required for the unbiased answering of scientific questions and to uncover all important information in the proteomic data. In this training we will cover the full analysis workflow from label-free, data dependent acquisition (DDA) raw data to statistical results. We’ll use two popular quantitative proteomics software: MaxQuant and MSstats.

Tutorial

Video Length: 1h50m
Subtitles By: Anup Kumar
Description: The talk includes a lecture followed by a hands-on session to apply multiple classification algorithms on the Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) dataset to predict the biodegradable activity of chemical compounds. QSAR models attempt to predict the activity or property of chemicals based on their chemical structure. To achieve this, a database of compounds is collected for which the property of interest is known. For each compound, molecular descriptors are collected which describe the structure (for example - molecular weight, number of nitrogen atoms, number of carbon-carbon double bonds). Using these descriptors, a model is constructed which is capable of predicting the property of interest for a new, unknown molecule. In this tutorial, we will use a database assembled from experimental data of the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry to create a classification model by applying simple and complex classifiers to learn the nature of biodegradation. We will use this model to classify new molecules into one of two classes - biodegradable or non-biodegradable. Different visualisations are used to analyze the results after applying each classification algorithm. Hyperparameters of one of the classifiers are also optimised.

Video Length: 1h29m
Subtitles By: Anup Kumar
Description: The talk includes a lecture followed by a hands-on session to apply multiple regression algorithms on the DNA-methylation dataset to predict biological age. In this tutorial, we will build a regression model for chronological age prediction, based on DNA methylation. This is based on the work of Jana Naue et al. 2017, in which biomarkers are examined to predict the chronological age of humans by analyzing the DNA methylation patterns. Different machine learning algorithms are used in this study to make an age prediction. It has been recognized that within each individual, the level of DNA methylation changes with age. This knowledge is used to select useful biomarkers from DNA methylation datasets. The CpG sites with the highest correlation to age are selected as the biomarkers (and therefore features for building a regression model). In this tutorial, specific biomarkers are analyzed by machine learning algorithms to create an age prediction model. Multiple visualisations are also used to analyse the predictions made by simple and complex regressors and hyperparameters of one of the regressors also optimised.

Description: This is an Introduction to Machine Learning in R, in which you’ll learn the basics of unsupervised learning for pattern recognition and supervised learning for prediction. At the end of this workshop, we hope that you will
  • appreciate the importance of performing exploratory data analysis (or EDA) before starting to model your data.
  • understand the basics of unsupervised learning and know the examples of principal component analysis (PCA) and k-means clustering.
  • understand the basics of supervised learning for prediction and the differences between classification and regression.
  • understand modern machine learning techniques and principles, such as test train split, k-fold cross validation and regularization.
  • be able to write code to implement the above techniques and methodologies using R, caret and glmnet.

Trio of Hands-on Tutorials

Artificial neural networks are a machine learning discipline roughly inspired by how neurons in a human brain work. In the past decade, there has been a huge resurgence of neural networks thanks to the vast availability of data and enormous increases in computing capacity (Successfully training complex neural networks in some domains requires lots of data and compute capacity). There are various types of neural networks, 3 of which we will cover in this set of tutorials.

Lecture & Hands-on Tutorial

ncbi logo Traditionally, after a list of run accessions has been filtered on the NCBI website, the accessions are used to download and extract fastq using the SRA toolkit to enter into the next steps of the workflow. A newer compressed data type generated from raw submission data for sequences containing hits to SARS-CoV-2 is also accessible to Galaxy users from SRA in the Cloud. SRA Aligned Read Format (SARFs) provides further output options other than basic FASTQ format, for example:
  1. contigs created from the raw reads in the run (FASTA format)
  2. reads aligned back to the contigs (SAM format)
  3. VCF files generated for each record relative to the SARS-CoV-2 RefSeq record.
We will demonstrate how to access just the reads (FASTA or FASTQ format), just the contigs, the reads aligned to the contigs and VCF files for selected SARFs. These formats can speed up workflows such as assembly and variant calling, and this data format is still referenced by the run accession and accessed using the SRA toolkit. This workshop describes the SARF data objects and demonstrates a few ways to filter them using the metadata before accessing them and entering them into Galaxy workflows.

Duo of Hands-on Tutorials

Volcano plots are commonly used to display the results of RNA-seq or other omics experiments. A volcano plot is a type of scatterplot that shows statistical significance (P value) versus magnitude of change (fold change). It enables quick visual identification of genes with large fold changes that are also statistically significant. These tutorials will first teach you how to create such plots from your RNA-Seq results in Galaxy, and then how you can further customized the plots using R directly within Galaxy.

Galaxy for Non-Genomics

Galaxy is widely used for analysis of genomics data, but is not limited to any scientific domain. This module covers some non-genomics topics such as Climate research and cheminformatics.

Lecture & Hands-on Tutorial

Terrestrial ecosystem models have been widely used to study the impact of climate changes on vegetation and terrestrial biogeochemical cycles in climate modelling community. They are also more and more applied in ecological studies to help ecologists to better understand the processes. But the technical challenges are still too high for most of the ecologists to use them. This practical aims at familiarizing you (especially ecologists) with running a terrestrial ecosystem model (i.e., CLM-FATES) at site-level in Galaxy and analyzing the model results.
