We are the University of Cambridge Centre for Research Informatics Training. National bioinformatics training resource for ELIXIR-UK.
We have some availability for Introduction to R 7 & 14 February. This online course is an introduction to R designed for participants with no programming experience. We will start from scratch by introducing how to start programming in R and progress our way and learn how to read and write to files, manipulate data and visualise it by creating different plots - all the fundamental tasks you need to get you started analysing your data.

We have a brand new course in our programme: Quality Control in Sequencing Experiments. This course covers the potential pitfalls of short-read sequencing studies and provides options for visualisation and QC for early detection and diagnosis of issues. The course also covers how QC metrics vary across different library types and thus distinguish between expected and unexpected QC results.

Brand new course: Intermediate Supervised Machine Learning. The vast majority of data produced fits the criteria of labelled data; the ML task of discriminating classes (for categorical outputs) or predicting future values (continuous outputs) will be discussed in detail, focusing both on classical methods and on the importance and discriminative power of features.
This course is not an introductory course and has prerequisites. Book here πŸ‘‡
