Dear all, I would like to send again the announcement of two ELIXIR training course taking place 13, 14th of May and 15th of May in Ghent. Introduction to Reproducible Genomics: Data Carpentry This is a Data Carpentry Workshop, with a special focus on sequence handling for variant calling using the cloud resources, the workshop will introduce you to Genomic concepts and scripting. Registration: https://training.vib.be/data-carpentry-genomics Best practises in Open Software In recent years, scientific research has become more data driven and data intensive and it is no longer possible to carry out the analysis without the use of computers and research software. Unfortunately, software is not always developed following best practices that ensure its quality and sustainability. Four simple recommendations to encourage best practices in open research software<https://f1000research.com/articles/6-876/v1> is a publication that addresses this issue by providing a simple, yet robust framework of recommendations that encourage the adoption of existing best practices in research software development. Registration: https://training.vib.be/4-oss-best-practises-open-software Trainers: Mateusz Kuzak, Toby Hodges Location: Ghent, training room in walking distance from Ghent Sint Pieters station Please feel free to spread further in your network if you see fit.
