Course Description

These series of webinars and tutorials aim at improving basic and applied knowledge associated with next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and their applications in the field of Tuberculosis (TB).

The trainings will introduce scalable and reproducible data analysis with Galaxy of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) genomes.

A series of pre-recorded sessions and hands-on tutorials will show:

After the trainings all participants are expected to:


Program

This workshop is virtual and asynchronous. Training sessions are pre-recorded and the material provided in advance in the program below. Whenever you’re ready to get started, you can access the material by clicking in the respective days of the program. Everyday there are specific slots where you can meet the experts (check the schedule each day), ask questions and discuss ideas.

Wrapping up

Please feel free to hang around in Slack and talk to us and the rest of the Galaxy community! Thanks for joining!!

After the Course

All these materials will remain online, so you can continue working on them for as long as you want. The only difference will be that you should ask your questions on the GTN Gitter channel, instead of Slack.
