 Course: Machine Learning 26-30 September, Amsterdam
Course overview In this one-week course, the foundations of machine
learning will be laid out and commonly used methods for unsupervised
(clustering, dimensionality reduction, visualization) and supervised
(mainly classification) learning will be explained in detail. Methods will
be illustrated using recent examples from the fields of systems biology and
bioinformatics. Methods discussed in the morning lectures will be put into
practice during the afternoon computer lab sessions. You can find more
information here
<https://dtls.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3cef2d6f6da8f8059e2288298&id=6ee41fc9a0&e=6c7bbf5973>.

Target audience

The course is aimed at PhD students with a background in bioinformatics,
systems biology, computer science or a related field, and life sciences.
Participants from the private sector are also welcome. A working knowledge
of basic statistics and linear algebra is assumed. Preparation material on
statistics and linear algebra will be distributed before the course, to be
studied by students missing the required background.

Course: Single-cell Analysis 10-14 October 2022, Leiden
Course overview

The course features a mix of lectures and practicals, and you will have the
opportunity to perform hands-on analysis of scRNA-seq data in R. Topics to
be covered in the course include (but not limited to): an overview of
different single cell platforms, experimental design, preprocessing of
scRNA-seq data, normalization, dimensionality reduction, clustering, batch
correction, differential expression, trajectory inference. The fifth day of
the course will be a mini-symposium featuring guest lectures from
scientists using various single-cell techniques in their research. You can
find more information here

.

Target audience

This course is aimed at both wet-lab researchers interested in learning how
to analyze their own single-cell data sets, as well as bioinformaticians
who are new to single-cell sequencing analysis. Basic knowledge of the
programming language R is a prerequisite for participation in the course.

Registration

A first selection will be made among the registrations by September 1st. We
will inform you a.s.a.p. if you are selected for the course. If you are
selected for the course, you will receive a link for final registration and
payment for the course.

Course: Algorithms for genomics 10-14 October 2022, Delft
Course overview

Comparative genomics aims to compare large sets of genomes in order to
understand and explain differences in traits of an organism. Contemporary
methods are powered by fundamental algorithms and data structures, which
are efficient and scale to large data sets. A thorough understanding of
these algorithms and data structures is necessary for advanced users and
developers in this area. In addition, understanding how comparative
genomics is developing is important to shape your own research.

In this course, we will cover genome analysis, variant analysis, and
pangenomics. Core concepts, applications, and future trends will be
discussed, with a focus on the algorithms and data structures underlying
state-of-the-art methods. The course offers an engaging mix of lectures,
paper discussions, hands-on tutorials, and a do-it-yourself project. You
can find more information here

.

Target audience

The course is aimed at PhD students with a background in bioinformatics,
computer science or a related field. Participants are expected to have
experience in command-line usage (Unix shell) and programming (Python), and
have basic knowledge of genomics.
