Introduction to Galaxy
October 16-17, 2012

Instructors: Dave Clements with Christopher Fields

1pm - 5pm
Location - 1040 NCSA

A workshop for the Illinois community supported by
High-Performance Biological Computing (HPCBio),
Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center,
IGB and NCSA

Registration

Workshop registration is $25. The workshop is open to anyone in the Illinois Community. However, space is limited and space is available on a first come, first served basis.

Registration is now closed.

Audience

Are you a biological researcher who needs to do complex analysis on large datasets?

Galaxy is an open, web-based platform for data intensive biological research that enables non-bioinformaticians to create, run, tune, and share their own bioinformatic analyses.

This hands-on workshop will teach participants how to integrate data, and perform simple and complex analysis within Galaxy. They will also cover data visualization and visual analytics, and how to share and reuse your bioinformatic analyses, all from within Galaxy.

Agenda

There will be one workshop split into two consecutive days:

1pm to 5pm on October 16 & October 17

Day 1: October 16, 1-5pm
