Train-the-trainer workshop This interactive Train-the-Trainer workshop aims to provide individuals new to training, or those wishing to develop their skills,  with guidance and tips for developing and delivering training in bioinformatics, exploring a range of methods appropriate to different learning styles, examining the requirements for a successful course and acquiring appropriate feedback. The workshop will: provide guidance on general training techniques and appropriate use of methods based on learner needs, including some general do’s and do not’s for successful training provide a framework for...

  Protein Sequence and Structure Analysis Using Google Cloud Engine Ajay Arya1, Johan Nyström-Persson2, Shandar Ahmad1 1School of Computational and Integrative Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi-110067, India 2National Institute of Biomedical Innovation, Health and Nutrition, Osaka, Japan   Overview The computational needs of bioinformatics are constantly increasing. Although sophisticated ready-made tools are increasingly available, in order to fully control their methods, bioinformaticians and other data scientists will need to write or modify their own software. Recently, there has also been a shift in computational architectures, from...

  An introduction to the Galaxy platform for computational biology – with real-world hands-on demonstration Background: Galaxy is a scientific workflow platform that aims to make computational biology accessible to research scientists that do not have computer programming or systems administration experience. By providing a graphical, web-based interface for running bioinformatics tools and pipelines, Galaxy removes the need to learn complex command-line syntax or the need to interact with computational job management systems. Galaxy also makes your analyses reproducible by maintaining a...
