WORKSHOP: Introduction to Machine Learning in R - from data to knowledge https://dresa.org.au/materials/workshop-introduction-to-machine-learning-in-r-from-data-to-knowledge This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons workshop ‘Introduction to Machine Learning in R - from data to knowledge’. This workshop took place over one, 4 hour sessions on 09 December 2024. Event description With the rise in high-throughput sequencing technologies, the volume of omics data has grown exponentially. A major issue is to mine useful knowledge from these heterogeneous collections of data. The analysis of complex high-volume data is not trivial and classical tools cannot be used to explore their full potential. Machine Learning (ML), a discipline in which computers perform automated learning without being programmed explicitly and assist humans to make sense of large and complex data sets, can thus be very useful in mining large omics datasets to uncover new insights that can advance the field of bioinformatics. This hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the ML taxonomy and the applications of common ML algorithms to health data. The workshop will cover the foundational concepts and common methods being used to analyse omics data sets by providing a practical context through the use of basic but widely used R libraries. Participants will acquire an understanding of the standard ML processes, as well as the practical skills in applying them on familiar problems and publicly available real-world data sets.

WORKSHOP: Single cell RNAseq analysis in R https://dresa.org.au/materials/workshop-single-cell-rnaseq-analysis-in-r-6a1126cf-7105-43ec-bf55-7c492f758301 This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons workshop 'Single cell RNAseq analysis in R'. This workshop took place over two, 3.5 hour sessions on 26 and 27 October 2023.Event descriptionAnalysis and interpretation of single cell RNAseq (scRNAseq) data requires dedicated workflows. In this hands-on workshop we will show you how to perform single cell analysis using Seurat - an R package for QC, analysis, and exploration of single-cell RNAseq data. We will discuss the 'why' behind each step and cover reading in the count data, quality control, filtering, normalisation, clustering, UMAP layout and identification of cluster markers. We will also explore various ways of visualising single cell expression data.This workshop is presented by the Australian BioCommons, Queensland Cyber Infrastructure Foundation (QCIF) and the Monash Genomics and Bioinformatics Platform with the assistance of a network of facilitators from the national Bioinformatics Training Cooperative.Lead trainers: Sarah Williams, Adele Barugahare, Paul Harrison, Laura Perlaza JimenezFacilitators: Nick Matigan, Valentine Murigneux, Magdalena (Magda) AntczakInfrastructure provision: Uwe WinterCoordinator: Melissa BurkeTraining materialsMaterials are shared under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International agreement unless otherwise specified and were current at the time of the event.Files and materials included in this record:Event metadata (PDF): Information about the event including, description, event URL, learning objectives, prerequisites, technical requirements etc.Index of training materials (PDF): List and description of all materials associated with this event including the name, format, location and a brief description of each file.scRNAseq_Schedule (PDF): A breakdown of the topics and timings for the workshopMaterials shared elsewhere:This workshop follows the tutorial 'scRNAseq Analysis in R with Seurat'https://swbioinf.github.io/scRNAseqInR_Doco/index.htmlSlides used to introduce key topics are available via GitHubhttps://github.com/swbioinf/scRNAseqInR_Doco/tree/main/slidesThis material is based on the introductory Guided Clustering Tutorial tutorial from Seurat.It is also drawing from a similar workshop held by Monash Bioinformatics Platform Single-Cell-Workshop, with material here.   Melissa Burke (melissa@biocommons.org.au) bioinformatics, transcriptomics, single cell RNA-seq, Seurat, R statistical software
