ADVANCED APPLIED COMPUTATIONAL GENOMICS COURSE (ADVANCED ACGC)

Building an In-house Bioinformatics System

  _____

 <http://www.cbr.nrc.ca/> Canadian Bioinformatics Resource
NRC Institute for Marine Biosciences, Halifax, NS
Monday, August 8 - Friday, August 12, 2005

Scientific coordinator: Dr. Brian Fristensky, University of Manitoba

Creating and managing a bioinformatics system for a lab, institute, or
university is presents a host of problems. While there are an enormous
number of software tools, databases and hardware choices, integrating these
into a coherent, reliable and easy-to-use system is difficult to do well.
This course will guide participants through the steps needed to install and
tailor a system to the needs of the local user community, whether a single
research lab or a campus or company-wide system.

Topics include (tentative):

* First steps: Designing a hardware, software, web and database
infrastructure for your lab

* Make it so: Any user can do anything from anywhere (BIRCH
<http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/%7Epsgendb/> )
installing and organizing software; strategies for keeping system
administration simple; making programs easy to find and use; care and
feeding of your user base

* Tao and Why of Bioinformatics (Methodikon)
Developing goal-oriented workflow processes, process integration, and
evaluation of results through probabilistic statistical tests.

* Data pipelines: Everything is a web service (BioMOBY
<http://www.biomoby.org/> )
Using web services; Creating web services; creating and modifying data
pipelines in Taverna <http://taverna.sourceforge.net/>

* Making databases and applications web-accessible
<http://www.gchelpdesk.ualberta.ca/> (Canadian Bioinformatics Help Desk)
<http://www.gchelpdesk.ualberta.ca/>
Design of application web pages; making databases web-accessible; making
software downloadable

* Genome annotation pipelines (MAGPIE <http://magpie.ucalgary.ca/> ,
BLUEJAY <http://bluejay.ucalgary.ca/> )
Implementing MAGPIE; populating the database; gene annotation

* High Performance Computing (CBR <http://cbr-rbc.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/> )
Computing grids; computing clusters

Prerequisites: Previous experience in Unix and Perl, or prior attendance at
the Genome Canada Applied Computational Genomics Course.
