We just finished teaching a two day workshop at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography down at UC San Diego. Dr. Harriet Alexander, a postdoc in my lab, and I spent two days going through cloud computing, short read quality and k-mer trimming, metagenome assembly, quantification of gene abundance, mapping of …

On June 11th, 2010, I remember dropping the last workshop attendee off at the Kalamazoo train station, turning the car towards home, and nearly sobbing in relief that workshop was over and done and I could finally get some sleep now. That workshop was the first of a series of …

Here at the Lab for Data-Intensive Biology (TM) we are constantly trying to explore new ideas for advancing the practice of biological data sciences. Below are some ideas that originated with or were sharpened by conversations with Greg Wilson (Executive Director, Software Carpentry) and Tracy Teal (Project Lead, Data Carpentry …

Two weeks ago, I ran a workshop at UC Davis on mRNAseq analysis for semi-model organisms, which focused on building new gene models ab initio -- with a reference genome. This was a milestone for me - the first time I taught a workshop at UC Davis as a professor there! My …
