Are you looking to automate and streamline your data analysis workflows for next-generation sequencing (NGS) data? Join our Snakemake for Bioinformatics course to learn how to create scalable, reproducible workflows for RNA-seq analysis, variant calling, bacterial genome assembly, and more!

Course Dates: 24-27 March 2025
Location: Online (Cloud-based Linux environment provided)
Register here: https://genomics.ed.ac.uk/event/snakemake-2/ 

Why Snakemake?
Snakemake is a powerful, Python-based workflow management system that allows you to define and execute complex bioinformatics workflows efficiently. It avoids redundant computation and seamlessly scales from a personal workstation to high-performance computing (HPC) environments.

What You’ll Learn:

• Automate NGS data analysis with Snakemake

• Create modular, scalable workflows

• Integrate external tools and handle dependencies

• Optimise workflow performance and share workflows online

Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for researchers who need to automate bioinformatics pipelines. A working knowledge of the Linux BASH command line is required (our Linux for Bioinformatics course provides a suitable background). No prior Python experience is needed.

New to Linux?
If you're unfamiliar with the Linux command line, consider attending our Linux for Bioinformatics course first. This one-day workshop provides the essential skills needed to confidently navigate and operate within a Linux environment, preparing you for workflow automation with Snakemake. More details are available here: Introduction to Linux for Genomics.

Interested in Variant Analysis?
We also offer a dedicated Variant Analysis course that covers essential methods for detecting and interpreting genetic variants in NGS data. Learn more and register here: Variant Analysis.
