Learning objectives

The goal of this basic training workshop is to provide a hands-on experience using the Bwb for genomics data analysis. You are expected to follow training videos and use Bwb to perform analytical tasks.

By completing this basic training workshop, you will:

  • Gain basic understanding of the Bwb platform.
  • Acquire hands-on experience using Bwb to deploy genomic workflows.
  • Learn how to adjust input parameters in a simple RNA-seq workflow.

Overview of basic training

We will walk through the following steps:

  1. Lecture: A quick introduction to Bio-depot-workflow-builder (Bwb)
  2. How to use the pre-configured GitPod environment, which is an open-source cloud environment. You will be able to run example workflows in Bwb without any set up on your own computer.
  3. How to load workflows in Bwb. This section includes a demo video illustrating how to deploy a simple RNA-seq workflow using our pre-configured GitPod.
  4. Hands-on exercise: RNA seq workflow using salmon

No prior programming experience or technical skills are required in this basic training. No installation on your local computer is needed.
