WEBINAR: Where to go when your bioinformatics outgrows your compute https://dresa.org.au/materials/webinar-where-to-go-when-your-bioinformatics-outgrows-your-compute-7a5a0ff8-8f4f-4fd0-af20-a88d515a6554 This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons webinar ‘Where to go when your bioinformatics outgrows your compute’. This webinar took place on 19 August 2021. Bioinformatics analyses are often complex, requiring multiple software tools and specialised compute resources. “I don’t know what compute resources I will need”, “My analysis won’t run and I don’t know why” and "Just getting it to work" are common pain points for researchers. In this webinar, you will learn how to understand the compute requirements for your bioinformatics workflows. You will also hear about ways of accessing compute that suits your needs as an Australian researcher, including Galaxy Australia, cloud and high-performance computing services offered by the Australian Research Data Commons, the National Compute Infrastructure (NCI) and Pawsey.  We also describe bioinformatics and computing support services available to Australian researchers.  This webinar was jointly organised with the Sydney Informatics Hub at the University of Sydney.

WORKSHOP: Variant calling in humans, animals and plants with Galaxy https://dresa.org.au/materials/workshop-variant-calling-in-humans-animals-and-plants-with-galaxy-767f1816-1c06-478c-adf4-90b3b2d32a9c This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons workshop ‘Variant calling in humans, animals and plants with Galaxy’. This workshop took place on 25 May 2021. Variant calling in polyploid organisms, including humans, plants and animals, can help determine single or multi-variant contributors to a phenotype. Further, sexual reproduction (as compared to asexual) combines variants in a novel manner; this can be used to determine previously unknown variant - phenotype combinations but also to track lineage and lineage associated traits (GWAS studies), that all rely on highly accurate variant calling. The ability to confidently call variants in polyploid organisms is highly dependent on the balance between the frequency of variant observations against the background of non-variant observations, and even further compounded when one considers multi-variant positions within the genome. These are some of the challenges that will be explored in the workshop. In this online workshop we focused on the tools and workflows available for variant calling in polyploid organisms in Galaxy Australia. The workshop provided opportunities for hands-on experience using Freebayes for variant calling and SnpEff and GEMINI for variant annotation. The workshop made use of data from a case study on diagnosing a genetic disease however the tools and workflows are equally applicable to other polyploid organisms and biological questions. Access to all of the tools covered in this workshop was via Galaxy Australia, an online platform for biological research that allows people to use computational data analysis tools and workflows without the need for programming experience.

A hands on introduction to Large Language Models like Bing Chat and ChatGPT https://dresa.org.au/materials/a-hands-on-introduction-to-large-language-models-like-bing-chat-and-chatgpt Event run 7 June at the MQ Incubator. Event description: A two-hour hands-on workshop giving a brief history of the last 4 months of development of "Generative AI." These tools, these Large Language Models, offer present promise and peril -- disruption -- to ways of working and of learning. Outside the "hype," these tools are "calculators for words" and allow the same manipulation and reflection of a user's words as a calculator offers for a user's numbers. The workshop will guide users into using various free and paid tools, and the effective use of Large Language Models through chain of thought prompting. Remember: a LLM is "Always confident and usually correct." OSF Description (LLM generated): This two-hour workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to the world of Large Language Models (LLMs), focusing on the recent advancements in Generative AI. Participants will gain insights into the development and functionality of prominent LLMs such as Bing Chat and ChatGPT. The workshop will delve into the concept of LLMs as "calculators for words," highlighting their potential to revolutionize ways of working and learning. The session will explore the principles of Prompt Engineering and Transactional Prompting, demonstrating how consistent prompts can yield reliable and reproducible results. Participants will also learn about the practical applications of LLMs, including editing and proofreading papers, generating technical documentation, recipe ideation, and more. The workshop emphasizes the importance of understanding the terms of use and the responsibilities that come with using these powerful AI tools. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to effectively use LLMs in various contexts, guided by the mantra that a LLM is "Always confident and usually correct."
