Presented By: Alexei Lobanov (CCBR)
Where: Online Webinar
About this Class
NIDAP, the NIH Integrated Data Analysis Platform, is a cloud-based and collaborative data aggregation and analysis platform. The NIDAP platform hosts user-friendly bioinformatics workflows (Bulk RNA-Seq, scRNA-Seq, Digital Spatial Profiling) and other component analysis and visualization tools that have been created and maintained by the NCI developer community based on open-source tools.
In this BTEP Coding Club session, Alexei Lobanov, bioinformatics analyst with CCBR, will demonstrate how to create NIDAP templates, GUI-like environments that allow users to run the same code on new datasets using a point-and-click approach, from source code (R or python).
Why create a NIDAP template? 1) “Templatizing” your code is easy and allows users / collaborators with no coding skills to efficiently use your code. 2) Pre-made templates encourage efficiency and reproducibility. Templates allow the user to easily create custom workflows and pipelines that can be shared with collaborators and/or applied to future data sets.
