This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons workshop ‘RNAseq: reads to differential expression’. This workshop took place on 10 - 11 September 2024.
Event description
RNA-Seq is a popular method for measuring differential gene expression. This hands-on workshop introduces the concepts of RNA-Seq analysis, from data preparation through to statistical testing for differential gene expression. You’ll learn how to use popular tools and workflows to analyse the data, produce graphical summaries and identify differentially expressed genes.
The workshop will focus on the use of Galaxy, a web-based platform for accessible, reproducible, and transparent computational biological research. Widely used by researchers world wide, Galaxy gives you access to 1000’s of popular tools for analysis and processing of biological data. Galaxy Australia is a fully subsidised service provided by Australian BioCommons.

This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons workshop ‘Phylogenetics: Back to basics’’. This workshop took place on 1 July 2024.
Event description
Phylogenetics is essential for comparing biological species and understanding biodiversity for conservation. This workshop discusses the basic principles and methods of phylogenetic inference and what you can learn from phylogenetic estimation. It is intended to help you make informed decisions about which methods to use in your research.
Using real-life data and standard tools that are (mostly) available in Galaxy, the workshop demonstrates the principles behind a variety of methods used to estimate phylogenetic trees from aligned sequence data or distance data.
This is not a "how to" workshop, but is instead aimed at giving you a better understanding of the principles of phylogenetics and how the methods work. Maybe you've even built phylogenetic trees before but want to know more about the principles behind the tools.

Topic description
Galaxy is a web-based platform that lets you conduct accessible, reproducible, and transparent computational biological research. Widely used by researchers world wide, Galaxy gives you access to 1000’s of popular tools for analysis and processing of biological data. It is perfect for working with a wide range of big and small datasets including genome assembly, annotation, epigenetics, metabolomics, metagenomics, proteomics, statistics, transcriptomics, variant analysis and visualisation.
This workshop provides an introduction to using Galaxy and available tools. Using an example dataset, you’ll practice uploading data, choosing and running tools, and viewing the results. We’ll share our top tips for managing your experiments and speeding up your analysis with workflows.
