This hands-on workshop is designed for HDRs and Staff at QUT with no command line or bioinformatics experience and for those with Bioinformatics skills interested in running reproducible, scalable, and portable Nextflow pipelines for variant calling and metagenomics analyses. The workshops will allow participants to use and run bioinformatics pipelines using basic command line skills and Jupyter Notebooks.
Date: 7th May - 4th June 2024
Venue: GP S506
