Containers are also an effective way of achieving a reproducible analysis pipeline, allowing researchers to ensure that the same version of an application and consistent computational environment are used each time. This short introductory course will show you how to find and use Singularity containers in a typical university HPC (high performance computing) context. The workshop does not cover the use of the Docker container platform, although you will learn how to import Docker containers into Singularity. 2024-07-24 09:00:00 UTC 2024-07-24 12:30:00 UTC QCIF QCIF training@qcif.edu.au [] [] workshop open_to_all [] -

Data storytelling is a powerful way achieving this, by conveying your ideas in a clear and memorable way. This interactive webinar focuses on developing your data storytelling skills by introducing a range of data visualisation techniques that you can use to combine the three elements of data, visuals and narrative into a meaningful and memorable story. By using these three elements, you can weave a story about your research for an array of audiences, in a way that they will connect with and remember. 2024-07-30 13:30:00 UTC 2024-07-30 15:00:00 UTC QCIF QCIF training@qcif.edu.au [] [] webinar open_to_all [] -

Containers are also an effective way of achieving a reproducible analysis pipeline, allowing researchers to ensure that the same version of an application and consistent computational environment are used each time. This short introductory course will show you how to find and use Singularity containers in a typical university HPC (high performance computing) context. The workshop does not cover the use of the Docker container platform, although you will learn how to import Docker containers into Singularity. 2024-05-27 09:00:00 UTC 2024-05-27 12:30:00 UTC QCIF QCIF training@qcif.edu.au [] [] workshop open_to_all [] -

More importantly, it helps them combine existing programs in new ways and automate repetitive tasks so they aren’t typing the same things over and over again. Use of the shell is fundamental to using a wide range of other powerful tools and computing resources (including 'high-performance computing' supercomputers).

Genome Annotation with Apollo https://www.qcif.edu.au/trainingcourses/genome-annotation-apollo/ https://dresa.org.au/events/genome-annotation-with-apollo-f69f35a3-30a1-441d-baba-1c23971930c5 Genome annotation is crucial to defining the function of genomic sequences. Apollo is a popular tool for facilitating real-time, collaborative, curation and genome annotation editing. In this workshop we'll show you how to use Apollo to refine genome annotations using the Australian Apollo Service. 2024-11-13 09:00:00 UTC 2024-11-13 12:30:00 UTC QCIF QCIF training@qcif.edu.au [] [] workshop open_to_all [] -
Introduction to Programming: Plotting and Programming with Python
25 - 28 June 2024
Introduction to Programming: Plotting and Programming with Python https://www.qcif.edu.au/trainingcourses/plotting-and-programming-with-python/ https://dresa.org.au/events/introduction-to-programming-plotting-and-programming-with-python-d540e51e-a55d-44b8-a4af-0a4a9e74bca5 This Software Carpentry workshop will introduce the building blocks of the Python scripting environment. Participants will start by exploring the command-line interface and basic programming concepts using Unix, before moving on to learn about simple and complex data types, conditionals and looping in Python. This workshop will prepare participants to carry out batch analysis and equip them with the knowledge to start creating automated pipelines to increase data processing power and productivity. 2024-06-25 09:00:00 UTC 2024-06-28 12:30:00 UTC QCIF QCIF training@qcif.edu.au [] [] workshop open_to_all [] -
