Registration open for free Data Carpentry Genomics Workshop

Join K-State Libraries and the Carpentries Collective on Aug. 11-14 for a Data Carpentry Genomics Workshop. This free, in-person workshop will be held in the Friends of the K-State Libraries Instruction Room in Hale Library, 359 Hale, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day with a break for lunch.

Carpentries workshops develop fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. The target audience is researchers who have little to no prior computational experience. The lessons are domain-specific, building on learners' existing knowledge to enable them to quickly apply skills to their own research. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.

This workshop teaches incoming life sciences graduate students in bioinformatics and others how to utilize the command line and the high-performance computing cluster, Beocat, to successfully run a bioinformatics analysis.

K-State affiliates who do not already have a Beocat account should request one by Aug. 4.

Spots for this four-day workshop are limited. Please register online to attend.

If you have questions, please contact Carolyn Jackson at csjaxon@k-state.edu.
