Otago Bioinformatics Spring School

On 1 July 2025, the roles, services and technologies of New Zealand eScience Infrastructure (NeSI) were integrated into the crown-owned company, Research and Education Advanced Network New Zealand (REANNZ). Stay connected with us by visiting the REANNZ website.
 

Genomics Aotearoa and NeSI are proud supporters of the Bioinformatics Spring School 2021 being organised by Otago Carpentries.

This is an intensive one week, in-person course tackling the basics of bash and R, high performance computers and genomics analysis (DNA Variant calling, Genotyping-by-Sequencing, RNA-seq and eDNA).

Is this for me?

This event is designed to give researchers (including students - 4th year and above) the opportunity to learn about and practice some bioinformatic skills. We’ll be covering bioinformatic workflows such as:

  • DNA variant calling from next generation sequence data
  • Genotype-by-Sequencing analysis (i.e. RAD-Sequencing)
  • RNA-sequencing differential expression analysis
  • Environmental DNA analysis

along with computational topics such as:

  • Introduction to the Unix commandline (Bash)
  • Introduction to R
  • Introduction to working in a high performance computing environment (provided by NeSI)
