BioData.pt | ELIXIR Portugal, in collaboration with several other organizations has designed a program to train the first generation of Data Stewards for the life sciences, to support the implementation of data management, open science and FAIR data principles in Portuguese R&I organizations....

The concepts and methods are exclusively introduced via case-studies in the life sciences. For every study we elaborate on a concrete research question and then provide a study design, which is followed by data exploration. Next, we will focus on how to model the data and elaborate on the link...

This training video series includes four short videos on research data management. The titles of the videos are the following:

1. Introduction to data management for life science researchers
2. Introduction to data management planning
3. Introduction to sections of a generic ​data management...

Quantitative proteomics by mass spectrometry has become an essential tool for multi-omics studies aiming at answering important biological questions in a system-wide perspective. Proteomics data contain rich and deep information that can become challenging to extract, interpret, and interface...

Reference genomes have become central to bioinformatics approaches, and form the core of standard analyses using contemporary sequencing data. However, the use of linear reference genomes, which provide the sequence of one representative genome for a species, is increasingly becoming a limitation...

This introductory course covers practical aspects of the analysis of differential gene expression by RNAseq, from planning the gathering of sequence data to the generation of tables of differentially expressed gene lists and visualization of results. For this edition of the course, we will also...

Genetic and genomic data are increasingly used by ecologists and evolutionary biologists in general. It has thus become important for many biologists with different levels of experience to produce and analyse genetic (and genomic) data. In this course we will take a practical approach to the...

Mass spectrometry based proteomic experiments generate ever larger datasets and, as a consequence, complex data interpretation challenges. In this course, the concepts and methods required to tackle these challenges will be introduced, covering peptide and protein identification, quantification,...

This is an entry level course aimed that those with a reasonable biological background but no significant experience with bioinformatics. The course is broadly based around a series of exercises in which a combination of simple analytical tools and reference to publicly available databases is...

Python is an object-oriented programming language that is ideal for biological data analysis. The course will start from zero knowledge, and will introduce the participants to all the basic concepts of Python such as calculating, organizing data, reading and writing files, program logic and...

3C-based methods, such as Hi-C, produce a huge amount of raw data as pairs of DNA reads that are spatially close in the cell nucleus. Overall, these interaction matrices have been used to study how the genome folds within the nucleus, that is one of the most fascinating problems in modern...

This course is targeted for Biostatistical techniques often employed in analytical tools for high throughput data and multivariate data. Participants can expect to attend a thorough set of lectures that will reveal the conceptual frameworks that are needed to understand the methods. Extensive...

This intermediate level course is one of our Foundations courses. It covers essential statistical concepts and methods for extracting insights from empirical data in the life sciences. The course positions applied statistics, starting from important aspects of experimental design and data...

"Ready For BioData Management?" is BioData.pt/ELIXIR-Portugal's capacity building program in data management for the life sciences.
Under this program, we have organized an intro-level workshop on data management plans, the material for which is available.
We are also organizing an advanced...

This workshop introduces the participants to RNA-seq data analysis methods, tools and file formats. It covers the whole workflow from quality control and alignment to quantification and differential gene expression analysis. While this course focuses on differential gene expression analysis...

This course introduces single cell RNA-seq data analysis methods, tools and file formats. It covers the processing of transcript counts from quality control and filtering to dimensional reduction, clustering, and differential expression analysis. You will also learn how to do integrated analysis...

This material is based on CSC's Pouta cloud course which consists of lectures and hands-on exercises on creating and managing virtual resources in OpenStack (VM, volumes, networks, security Groups, VM snapshots, etc). It also covers topics like orchestration with Heat and accessing Pouta Object...

This hands-on course introduces the participants to single cell RNA-seq data analysis concepts and popular R packages. It covers the preprocessing steps from raw sequence reads to expression matrix as well as clustering, cell type identification, differential expression analysis and pseudotime...

This course introduces single cell RNA-seq data analysis methods, tools and file formats. It covers the preprocessing steps of DropSeq data from raw reads to a digital gene expression matrix (DGE), and how to find sub-populations of cells using clustering with the...

This course introduces community analysis of amplicon sequencing data (16S rRNA). It covers preprocessing, taxonomic classification, and statistical analysis for marker gene studies. The user-friendly Chipster software is used in the exercises, so no Unix or R experience is required and the...

This course introduces the VirusDetect pipeline covering all the analysis steps and file formats. VirusDetect allows you to detect known viruses and identify news ones by sequencing small RNAs (siRNA) in host samples. siRNA sequences are assembled to contigs and compared to known virus sequences....

This course introduces RNA-seq data analysis methods, tools and file formats. It covers all the steps from quality control and alignment to quantification and differential expression analysis, and also experimental design is discussed. The user-friendly Chipster software is used in the exercises,...
