The aim of this virtual training is to provide learners with skills to create and maintain workflows for automating routine bioinformatics tasks.

Duration: Two half-days on 19 and 21 March 2025 from 09:00 to 12:30 (CET)

Location: Online - Find the link after enrolment. 

Audience: Beginners in bioinformatics, who have some familiarity with navigating and interacting with Unix terminals, creating and running simple bash scripts, and creating and working with virtual environments through the Conda ecosystem.

Objectives:  

Upon completion of this virtual training, participants will be able to:

• Execute bioinformatics commands from environments, without activating them
• Describe how to work with positional arguments
• Define the basic concepts behind modularisation of workflows
• Convert bioinformatics commands into a modular structure of scripts
• Generate a main script that executes each module with positional arguments
• Individually expand their workflows with new modules

Participation: This course is open for public enrolment.
