Training and Events

Melbourne Bioinformatics offers a wide range of hands-on workshops which are designed to give participants the tools to apply bioinformatics techniques in their own research. Many of our workshops have been developed for use with Galaxy Australia while others focus on more specialised applications, but we also provide a solid grounding in fundamental data science skills. All of our workshops have been developed by our experienced bioinformatics experts, who can deliver them either on-site at Melbourne Bioinformatics, or in-house for your group. Our training materials are also available for use in your own workshops, for self-directed learning or for conducting your own research.

All our upcoming workshops and events for building bioinformatics careers are listed below. See also these resources for researchers and students as recommended by the Parkville Bioinformatics Training Group. We’re interested to hear from any Parkville precinct research group or individual researchers and students about training needs: please contact us with your suggestions or requests.

Workshop Description:

Across 2 days (10am-1pm each day) attendees can expect to gain an understanding of approaches to and practical experience in: quality control of short reads, alignment, gene counts, data normalisation, differential expression and visualisation. Places are limited to encourage discussion and experienced RNA-seq and Galaxy trainers will be present to answer your questions. The workshop materials are based on the following Galaxy training workshops:

This training workshop will be conducted using Galaxy. It is important that you are familiar with navigating the Galaxy platform as the workshop will not include introductory content on how to use the platform.
