More Training Opportunities

Other opportunities for bioinformatics training outside of BTEP include:

NIH Library

The National Institutes of Health Library offers courses and links to online tutorials in bioinformatics. To see upcoming training events, check out the NIH Library training calendar.

CBIIT

As the NCI Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology, CBIIT provides training classes, data sharing and storage solutions, seminars and blogs on data science and bioinformatics.

Upcoming data science and informatics presentations, conferences, workshops, and trainings from CBIIT can be found here.

CBIIT also houses the Informatics Technology for Cancer Research (ITCR), a trans-NCI program that supports extramural informatics technology development. To find out more about ITCR and watch training videos for the informatics tools, please see: https://itcr.cancer.gov/.

Other relevant bioinformatic training is available through the DSLE and CRDC.

Data Science learning exchange (DSLE)

Provides learning resources and tools for community collaboration.

Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC)

The NCI Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) is a cloud-based data science infrastructure that connects data sets with analytics tools to allow users to share, integrate, analyze, and visualize cancer research data to drive scientific discovery. --- CRDC

The core components of the CRDC are its repositories, infrastructure, and cloud resources.

  1. Data-type specific repositories:

    • Cancer Data Service
    • Clinical Trial Data Commons
    • Genomic Data Commons
    • Imaging Data Commons
    • Integrated Canine Data Commons
    • Proteomic Data Commons
  2. Key infrastructure tools allow data access and integration:

    • Cancer Data Aggregator
    • Data Commons Framework
    • Data Standards Services
  3. Available Cloud resources facilitate analysis:

    • Broad Institute FireCloud
    • ISB Cancer Gateway in the Cloud
    • Seven Bridges Cancer Genomics Cloud
