Mike Lee edited this page Jul 13, 2023 · 20 revisions

Welcome to the main page for the GeneLab for Colleges and Universities (GL4U) Amplicon Sequencing Bootcamp 2023 Pilot taking place at California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA)!

This course takes place Monday, 10-Jul-2023 to Thursday, 13-Jul-2023 in-person at CSULA 😊

The course utilizes lectures and hands-on coding in Jupyter Notebooks. It begins with the GL4U: Introduction Modules, which includes an overview of NASA Space Biology, NASA Open Life Sciences and the Open Science Data Repository (OSDR), GeneLab, and key foundational coding skills and concepts related to bioinformatics and working with sequencing data. Then it moves onto the GL4U: Amplicon Sequencing Modules, which provides an overview of amplicon sequencing and hands-on processing of samples derived from the Rodent Research - 6 mission, OSD-249, using the GeneLab Amplicon Sequencing Data Processing Pipeline followed by analysis and visualization of the processed data.

Lecture materials are linked in the schedule below, while Jupyter notebooks will be linked after the bootcamp.
