[Gtpb] DMOS18 - Course announcement / Reminder
by GTPB Administration 23 May '18

23 May '18

Course Announcement / Reminder DMOS18 Data Management and Open Science with Rutger A. Vos, Pedro L. Fernandes and Elves H. Duarte Key terms: Data Management, Fair Data, Open Science, Open Access, Open Data IMPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: June 7th 2018 Course date: June 12th - June 15th 2018 The GTPB is proud to announce that the above referenced hands-on training course is open for applications Admission: Candidates with adequate profile will be accepted in the next 72 hours after the application until we reach 20 participants. Course description: In an age of increasingly complex and data-intensive, collaborative scientific practices, scandals of irreproducibility, and a growing societal ethos of transparency and accountability, a new paradigm has arisen: Open Science. In this three day course, we will introduce to you the three organizing principles and practices that undergird this paradigm: Open Access scholarly publishing Open Source software development Open Data integration and sharing For this, we will be introducing a set of technologies and ways of using them. The reasonable expectation is that the participants will feel empowered and start using them for the above purposes in a highly productive way. The use-cases that we will be working on are going to be based on bioinformatics, but the principles are very broadly applicable to other fields. You do not need to have any particular programming or otherwise computational experience beyond what is normally required from a scientist in graduate school and beyond, i.e., you should not be afraid of interacting with a computer and editing simple text files. We will then steer the participants into good practices in data management and work on practical examples taken from published papers and data, showing how these practices influence replicability and reproducibility. At the end we will discuss publication bias and its consequences in current research quality.

[Gtpb] PDA18 - Course announcement / Reminder
by GTPB Administration 16 May '18

16 May '18

Course Announcement / Reminder PDA18 Proteomics Data Analysis with Lennart Martens, Harald Barsnes and Lieven Clement Key terms: Proteomics data, identfication, quantification, statistics IMPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: May 20th 2018 Course date: May 28th - June 1st 2018 The GTPB is proud to announce that the above referenced hands-on training course is open for applications Admission: Candidates with adequate profile will be accepted in the next 72 hours after the application until we reach 20 participants. Course description: 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 both protein identification and quantification. The core focus will be on shotgun proteomics data. Quantification through isobaric labels (iTRAQ, TMT) and label-free precursor peptide (MS1) ion intensities will also be introduced. The course will rely exclusively on free and user-friendly software, all of which can be directly applied in your lab upon your return from the course. An introduction to available online resources and repositories will also be given. Here you will see how to link the results from proteomic experiments with external data to conduct pathway, gene ontology and interaction analyses. In the course, you will also learn how to submit data to the ProteomeXchange online repositories, and how to browse and reprocess publicly available data from these repositories. The course will provide a solid basis for beginners, but also new perspectives to those already familiar with standard data interpretation procedures in proteomics. Note: this is a highly interactive course. It requires that the participants interact with each other and with the course instructors, in order to reach the learning outcomes in full.
