About this Class
This hands-on workshop will help you advance your microbiome analysis and computing skills, and help
you learn new ways to leverage computing resources for your research.
What you’ll learn:
● The basics of interacting with command line software.
● Using QIIME 2 for microbiome data analysis.
● Using containers (e.g., Docker) to support reproducible bioinformatics.
● Using QIIME 2 through the Galaxy graphical interface (https://cancer.usegalaxy.org).
● Computing resources that can help you do your work more efficiently, especially for data that’s too
big for your laptop.
Prerequisites:
● All participants should bring a laptop and be able to install software on their laptop. Any laptop
that can run Google Chrome and Docker Desktop should work just fine!
● Attendees are required to install Docker and Docker Desktop in advance for this workshop.
If you use a government computer or don’t have admin privileges on the computer you
plan to use, you will need to contact your IT to have this set up – this may take weeks.
● Please review the instructions here to install the requisite software on your laptop before the
workshop.
● Please review our overview of working with command line software.
● Some familiarity with molecular biology and microbiomes is expected.
Space is limited - please only register if you can commit to the full event!
