Galaxy is a web-based analysis platform, aiming to make computational biology accessible to research scientists that do not have computational programming background.

 The core values of Galaxy are:

1. Accessibility

Users without programming experience can easily upload/retrieve date, run complex tools and workflows, and visualize data.

2. Reproducibility

Galaxy captures information so that everyone can understand and repeat a complete computational analysis.

3. Transparency

Users can share or publish their analyses (histories,workflows, visualizations).

 During the hand-on seminar we will learn how to use Galaxy to simplify our computational analyses task.

We will first learn the basic handling, i.e. get familiar with the GALAXY history, learn how to load data, (e.g directly from the UCSC Table Browser), how to use different tools and how to visualize our data within GALAXY.

We will then use GALAXY to do transcriptome analyses and generate a workflow to reuse our analysis strategy to repeat the analzsis for another dataset.

In addition we will learn how to share data, histories, and workflows with other CRC members.

 Terms and conditions

The seminar takes place on Wed.16.05 to Thurs.17.05 from 9.30am to 5.30pm (one hour lunch break) in room 109 at Härtelstraße 16-18.

 A laptop with internet access is needed. There is eduroam in the room. If you do not have a laptop or eduroam access, please indicate this when registering. Both can be provided.

 If you have any data, which you want to analyzes in the seminar, or special requests (for example, RNA-seq, Variant Calling, ChIP-Seq , or also metagenomics) you are welcome to contact Stephanie Kehr  steffi@bioinf.uni-leipzig.de

Workshop Description
The two-day workshop Scientific Writing and Publishing covers the basics of scientific writing and publishing. Writing a successful research paper requires basic
knowhow, content knowledge, writing proficiency, strong research skills, creativity, organizational ability, patience, and confidence. This course will provide students with the background and skills necessary to develop and submit a clear, concise, and effective scientific manuscript. PhD students will learn how to write a scientific paper start to finish and how to deal with the publishing process. Participants should bring a laptop computer with any operating system for writing exercises. Copies of checklist, list of useful phrases, and various sample abstracts will be provided.

CLOSING COMMENTS AND REVIEW

Monday 8th and Tuesday 9th October 2018, MPI-EVA, Leipzig
Goal of the symposium The push for gender equality is one of the biggest social movements occurring today. In recent years we have seen this issue spread like wildfire through every realm of public life from politics to the entertainment industry. The scientific world forms a central part of this debate. We want to bring an open discussion about this movement and its ramifications for the scientific and academic community into our institute.
