** Introduction to R for Bioinformatics
------------------------------------------------------------
March 9, 11, 13 - 2-5pm
(https://registration.genomecenter.ucdavis.edu/..._mar_2026/)
June 8, 10, 12 - 2-5pm
(https://registration.genomecenter.ucdavis.edu/..._jun_2026/)
Aug 31, Sep 2, 4 - 2-5pm
(https://registration.genomecenter.ucdavis.edu/..._aug_2026/)
This three-part workshop in R is designed to help biologists with no prior
data analysis experience get up to speed with the R programming language as
it is widely used in many bioinformatics workflows to explore data, perform
statistical analysis and generate publication quality graphics. This
workshop will prepare you for our Intermediate VIsualization workshop.
Registration fees are $350 for current UC students, faculty and staff, $500
for other academic and non-profit, and $650 for other participants.
** Intermediate Visualization for Bioinformatics
------------------------------------------------------------
March 16, 18, 20 - 2-5pm (https://www.animalgenome.org/surl/dsrjtr)
Sept 8, 9, 11 - 2-5pm (https://www.animalgenome.org/surl/fxlgtd)
Learn the fundamentals of visualization and figure design in base R,
ggplot2, and other popular graphics packages. Students will create many
commonly requested bioinformatics visualizations, from scatter plots
(including volcano plots, dot plots, and UMAP biplots), to box plots, heat
maps, and multi-panel figures. By the end of the course, students will have
not only code templates for standard plots, but also the skills with which
to customize their own publication-ready figures. Familiarity with the
concepts covered in our Introduction to R for Bioinformatics course is a
prerequisite.
Registration fees are $350 for current UC students, faculty and staff,
$500 for other academic and non-profit, and $650 for other participants.
** RNA-Seq Analysis
------------------------------------------------------------
March 23-26, 9am – 5pm
(https://registration.genomecenter.ucdavis.edu/...arch_2026/)
Our flagship workshop provides comprehensive training in experimental
design considerations, data quality assessment, unsupervised learning
methods to discover biological patterns, statistical approaches for
differential expression and pathway analysis, and visualization. The course
features a half-day introduction to command-line tools and R, followed by
3.5 days of in-depth lectures and hands-on training in RNA-Seq data
analysis. Participants will explore an RNA-Seq experiment using the
command-line tools and R, develop and customize workflows, and identify and
address data quality issues utilizing high performance computing resources.
** Introduction to Command Line for Bioinformatics
------------------------------------------------------------
April 6, 8, 10 - 2-5pm
(https://registration.genomecenter.ucdavis.edu/..._apr_2026/)
July 13, 15, 17 - 2-5pm
(https://registration.genomecenter.ucdavis.edu/..._jul_2026/)
Nov 2, 4, 6 - 2-5pm
(https://registration.genomecenter.ucdavis.edu/..._nov_2026/)
Get off to a good start in bioinformatics with this three-part workshop in
the use of the command line interface. This workshop lays the foundation
for successful bioinformatics experiments by teaching the skills necessary
for efficient handling of large data sets.
Registration fees are $350 for current UC students, faculty and staff, $500
for other academic and non-profit, and $650 for other participants.
** Introduction to Python for Bioinformatics
------------------------------------------------------------
May 4-8, 2-5pm
(https://registration.genomecenter.ucdavis.edu/..._may_2026/)
Nov 30-Dec 4, 2-5pm
(https://registration.genomecenter.ucdavis.edu/..._nov_2026/)
This five day workshop will teach the fundamentals of programming to
beginning analysis of bioinformatics data using Python. We will start from
the basic building blocks of programming and progress to using simple
python packages for applied bioinformatics analysis.
Registration fees are $350 for current UC students, faculty, staff, $500
for other academic or non-profit participants and $650 for other
participants.
