Training

  • How much does your core do, and how do you schedule it?
  • What do you teach?

  • What are your favorite platforms for teaching or teaching tips?

How much training do you do?

  • 2-3 full days modeled on software carpentry, done a few times, command line, RNA-seq
  • Simon Andrews, Babraham Institute
    • huge amount of training, 50 courses a year, a day each
    • one of their core functions
    • internal / external / commercial venture
    • 5 regular teachers
  • Matt Eldridge, Cambridge
    • Also a large amount of training
    • Part of a larger university program
    • demand is massive, long waiting list
    • perhaps have noticed routine analysis going down in volume
      • maybe that's fine, let routine stuff go and focus on harder analyses
  • How much? free?
    • 50 pounds a day for postdocs, Phd students free
    • 178 pounds a day with a "day rate"

Curriculum?

  • command line, common bioinfo tools
  • RNA-seq / ChIP-seq / application specific
  • someone suggested github / docker
  • Simon said they do
    • statistics
    • core skills - unix, perl/python, R
    • RNA-seq / chIP-seq / methyl-seq
    • "creating figures"
    • gene set enrichment analysis
  • Goblet was mentioned
    • but direct reuse is harder than it seems
  • Environments are tricky
    • how do you ensure the same environment for everyone?
    • amazon - but then dependent on network
    • some people use docker - last part of course is getting things running on *your* laptop
    • Use a script to check that everything is installed and ready to go

Nanopore

  • How is your core supporting Nanopore sequencing?
  • Which tools have you found useful thus far for analysis?
  • Any particular quality control approaches you are using?

Other New Protocols or Approaches?

  • Anything new happening at your institution that you would like to discuss?
