SUMMARY:EMBL course: Data visualisation for biology
DESCRIPTION:This course will give insights into\, and practical experience in\, data visualisation for exploring complex and multi-dimensional biological data. \nBiological and life sciences data often consists of multiple dimensions: a combination of numerical values\, ordered data\, categories\, and time-series. To make sense of this data\, simple plots like scatterplots\, barcharts\, and boxplots are often not enough. Still\, visualisation is critical in gaining deep insight into the data. This is why many custom visualisations originated in the biological field. \nIn this course\, we will dive into the topic of visualisation of complex biological data and how it can be used to gain insight into and get a “feel” for a dataset\, so that targeted analyses can be defined. It will be delivered through a mixture of lectures and workshop sessions\, and will provide hands-on experience in developing visualisations. The course will focus on working with omics (e.g. genomics\, transcriptomics) data rather than e.g. imaging data.

SUMMARY:EMBL course: Imaging-based spatial-omics
DESCRIPTION:The aim of the course is to provide participants a comprehensive introduction to the various methods of spatial-omics and in particular those of multiplex immunofluorescence and spatial transcriptomics. We want to provide a general overview of the methods and assist researchers choose the right method for their needs. \nWith hands-on practicals\, the course will teach participants how to carry out open-source imaging-based methods for cost-effective spatial transcriptomics and multiplex immunofluorescence. The course will cover all experimental stages\, including custom reagent preparation\, sample preparation and data acquisition (with various microscopy modalities) as well as image processing and basic data analysis.

SUMMARY:EMBL course: Whole transcriptome data analysis
DESCRIPTION:This course will teach biological researchers how to analyse biological data sets using open-source software. Most of the analysis will be performed with docker4seq and rCASC packages\, which were developed to facilitate the use of computing demanding applications in the field of NGS data analysis. Docker4seq and rCASC packages use docker containers that embed demanding computing tasks (e.g. short reads mapping) into isolated containers. \nThis approach provides multiple advantages: the user does not need to install all the software on its local server\, the results generated by different containers can be organised in pipelines\, and reproducible research is guarantee by the possibility of sharing the docker images used for the analysis. \nComputers for hands-on exercises will be provided along with demo data sets.

SUMMARY:EMBL course: Introduction to metabolomics analysis
DESCRIPTION:This course will provide an introduction to metabolomics through lectures and hands-on sessions\, using publicly available data\, software\, and tools. Participants will become familiar with standardised workflows as well as with the current state of experimental design\, data acquisition (LC-MS\, MS imaging)\, processing\, and modelling. In addition\, they will learn about community standards and sharing in metabolomics\, particularly through the use of EMBL-EBI’s MetaboLights repository and Galaxy infrastructure. Participants will learn through hands-on tutorials to use tools available for data analysis and data submission. Additionally\, case studies will be discussed to show how to employ the week’s learning.
