Containers & Workflow pipelines workshop http://tess.elixir-uk.org/materials/containers-workflow-pipelines-workshop The first day (20 May 2021) is dedicated to Containers (Docker & Singularity) which are great tools for code portability and reproducibility of your analysis. You will learn how to use containers and how to build a container from scratch, share it with others and how to re-use and modify existing containers. After an extensive explanation on Docker containers, at the end of the first day, Singularity will be highlighted as well. On the second day (27 May 2021), you will learn how to use Nextflow for building scalable and reproducible bioinformatics pipelines and running them on a personal computer, cluster and cloud. Starting from the basic concepts we will build our own simple pipeline and add new features with every step, all in the new DSL2 language. Containers, Nextflow bioinformaticians

Introduction to Protein Structure Analysis http://tess.elixir-uk.org/materials/introduction-to-protein-structure-analysis This training session will provide the basics of protein structure determination and how this information is stored in databases. We will explore and search in online databases containing protein structure information. With the aid of the Yasara View program we will visualize the structure. Different hands-on exercises will allow you to compare the structure of homologues, to predict a structural model of proteins (without any structure information) and to find homologous structures. We will use online tools to quantify various interactions in the structures. ## Objectives * Get to know the data generated from protein structure determination experiments (high-resolution NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, ...) and where to get it. * Display protein structure data and compare structures, through the use of Yasara. * Create high-quality graphical representations of the structures. * Calculate the effect of mutations on the stability of your protein.

Interpreting Phylogenies http://tess.elixir-uk.org/materials/interpreting-phylogenies Content for a one-day course delivered in April 2013 at the University of Cambridge, together with Sarah Parks, Cilia Antoniou, and Adrian Friday. Uses examples taken from several published papers to explore some of the assumptions and concepts we use when presenting and interpreting phylogenetic trees. Includes exercises on visulaising and manipulating trees using Dendroscope and NJplot to reinforce some of these ideas, while also providing a very basic overview of steps involved in a generic phylogenetic analysis.
