Keen Hall | Thomas Girke | UCR | Introduction into R and Bioconductor Manual for this workshop R (http://www.r-project.org) is a complete statistical software package and programming language for data manipulation, calculation and professional graphical display. The fully integrated Bioconductor project covers many additional R packages for statistical data analysis in biosciences, such as tools for the analysis of SNP and transcriptional profiling data derived from SAGE, cDNA microarrays, Affymetrix chips, etc. This workshop will be divided into two sections: the first part will provide an introduction into the basic R commands under Linux and the second part will focus on the usage of Bioconductor packages for Affymetrix chip analysis (RMA, GCRMA, QC display, SAM, etc). Knowledge of the basics UNIX commands, as introduced in our 'LINUX Essentials' course, is required for attending this workshop. Maximum number of participants: 12 |

Keen Hall | Thomas Girke & Josh Lauricha | UCR | Large-Scale Computing on our Bioinfo LINUX Cluster Manual for this workshop Our facility is currently maintaining a 64-CPU LINUX cluster to significantly reduce the running time of computationally expensive bioinformatics applications. For instance HMM searches of 100,000 protein sequences against the Pfam database can be finished on this cluster within 3-4 days as opposed to 'impractical' ~200 days on a single processor machine! This seminar will provide an introduction into the usage of the different load ballancing and parallel computing systems that are available on our cluster. A discussion will follow to determine the need for future hardware growth and software requirements in this area. Maximum number of participants: 12 |

Keen Hall | Thomas Girke | UCR | LINUX Essentials Manual for this workshop The majority of freely available bioinformatics software is designed for UNIX/LINUX-based operating systems. Basic knowledge about its usage provides free access to the most powerful and up-to-date applications in this field. The workshop will teach beginners the basic command-line syntax for running applications on large data sets on our LINUX servers and clusters from a local PC, Mac or LINUX computer. The following topics will be covered: Maximum number of participants: 12 |

2:00-5:30pm | 1007 Noel T. Keen Hall | Thomas Girke | UCR | Large Scale Data Management for Biologists with the Database Software MS Access Manual and execises for this workshop In response to the high demand, the bioinformatics facility is offering a workshop for biologists with interest in learning a user-friendly database software for managing complex data sets from DNA array, proteomic, large-scale sequencing and other high-throughput technologies. MS Access provides a simple but efficient database environment for organizing large data sets without knowing any programming languages. It is also a very useful tool to pre-design data structures for future import into more powerful database engines like MySQL, PostgreSQL or Oracle. The software is usually preinstalled on every Windows computer with MS Office. A Mac version is not available yet. This introductory workshop will cover the following topics: data im/export, interoperability with spreadsheet programs like Excel, table relationships, filters, queries, calculations, table joining, duplicate removal, reports and forms. Active Server Pages (ASP) for designing web interfaces will not be covered. Maximum number of participants: 12 |

2:00-5:30pm | 1007 Noel T. Keen Hall | Thomas Girke | UCR | GCG Basics (SeqWeb, SeqLab & Command Line) Manual & Exercises for this workshop These two workshops cover the basics on how to access GCG from SeqWeb, SeqLab and the command line. Since SeqLab is the most powerful and user-friendly GCG environment, the workshop focuses on this interface and gives an overview on the various sequence analysis tools which are available in GCG. This includes pattern searches, multiple alignments, phylogenetic trees, remote homology detection with HMMER, high-throughput sequence analysis such as BLAST searches in batch mode and how to make personal BLASTable sequence databases. Participants are encouraged to provide their own real-life problems during the exercise section. Maximum number of participants: 12 |

Richard Hughey | UC Santa Cruz | An Introduction to Hidden Markov Models (seminar) Since their introduction to the biological sequence analysis community, profile hidden Markov models have become a standard for high-performance sequence search, classification, and alignment. These basic functions can also form core components of protein structure prediction and genome analysis. This tutorial presents an introduction to the process of creating and using profile hidden Markov models, followed by a discussion of the iterative search methods that enable particularly distant remote homology detection. The emphasis will be on gaining a qualitative understanding the underlying technology, with only a small amount of mathematics. The SAM HMM Software System (hands-on workshop) The Sequence Alignment and Modeling Software System (SAM) is the HMM system developed at UCSC in Haussler and Krogh's seminal work. It has been continuously improved since the introduction of profile HMMs, and now forms the core of our protein structure prediction efforts, and is used by many other research sites. In this workshop, we will use the SAM programs to create and examine HMMs, align sequences, and search databases. We will also use the SAM web servers for protein structure prediction. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own sequence or sequences of interest for building and using HMMs (web version). |
