*TARGET AUDIENCE*

1) Biomedical & translational medicine researchers/students who are keen 
on bioinformatics and 2) educators in the “bio” domain who would like to 
start using Galaxy in their courses as an introduction to Bioinformatics.

*COURSE DESCRIPTION*

Analysing molecular data in translational medicine involves a multitude 
of computational steps. Here, we introduce the basics of how to design 
and run these steps within Galaxy, a free and easy-to-use web platform 
that enables users to connect bioinformatics tools into a workflow 
without any prior programming expertise.

This course consists of two parts. Part 1 will let you get familiar with 
Galaxy; it will introduce some bioinformatics workflows used for RNAseq, 
variant detection and metagenomics; and how to easily connect different 
computational steps in Galaxy. Part 2 will focus on how to teach 
bioinformatics with Galaxy and to design bioinformatics courses using 
Galaxy. Participants can register for both parts separately.

This course is also interspersed with a few keynotes, from recognised 
researchers in the fields of Biomedicine, Bioinformatics education and 
Galaxy workflows. The confirmed speakers include Jaap Heringa, who is 
the scientific director of the Netherlands Bioinformatics Centre; and 
Björn Grüning, who is the leader of Galaxy training network, also 
actively involved in Bioconda.

*PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE *

The attendees of Part I are assumed to have the basic knowledge of 
biomedicine (molecular biology and genomics) and be interested in 
analysing patient derived sequencing data. The attendees of Part II are 
assumed to have some teaching experience in the relevant field (e.g., 
bioinformatics, computational biology, systems biology, quantitative 
biology, etc.)

*COURSE SCHEDULE*

The course consists of six modules, as the table below shows, covering a 
list of topics as follows:

  * Introduction to Galaxy. Run bioinformatics tools and workflows in
    Galaxy without the need for any programming expertise.
  * Reference-based RNA-Seq data analysis
  * Module detection in differential gene expression in meta
    transcriptomics samples.
  * Microbiota Analysis: 16S rRNA sequencing analysis in Galaxy
  * How to teach bioinformatics workflows.
  * Galaxy setup for teaching and training material development.
