    23 September 2021

    WORKSHOP: Working with genomic sequences and features in R with Bioconductor https://staging.dresa.org.au/events/workshop-working-with-genomic-sequences-and-features-in-r-with-bioconductor This workshop provides hands-on experience with tools, software and packages available in R via Bioconductor for manipulating, exploring and extracting information from biological sequences and annotation files. We will look at tools for working with some commonly used file formats including FASTA, GFF3, GTF, methods for identifying regions of interest, and easy methods for obtaining data packages such as genome assemblies. **Date/time:** 10am-1pm AEST, Thursday 23 September 2021 **Lead Trainer:** Dr Paul Harrison, Monash Bioinformatics Platform **Learning outcomes** After attending this workshop, participants will be able to: 1. Work with data types in R representing DNA and amino-acid sequences, and genomic ranges (representing things such as genes, transcripts, exons, motif matches, or results of peak-calling). 2. Perform useful operations on genomic ranges such as finding overlaps between two sets of ranges. 3. Load and save data in commonly used file formats, appreciate some of the advantages and disadvantages of different formats. 4. Install Bioconductor packages, find relevant documentation, and be aware of differences between the Bioconductor and base R ways of doing things. **Who the workshop is for** This workshop is open to Australian students and researchers who are using Bioconductor to analyse their life science data. It is not suitable for absolute beginners. Some familiarity with R is assumed (prospective participants should already be comfortable with[ basic R concepts](https://monashdatafluency.github.io/r-intro-2)). Participants will need to have[ RStudio](https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/) and[ R](https://cran.r-project.org/) ready for use on their laptop. Participants should have used a few Bioconductor packages, perhaps having worked through a tutorial vignette to perform a standard data analysis task. This workshop will assist those who are now interrogating their data in a way that requires going off the beaten path, or perhaps needing to better understand package vignettes mentioning things like "GRanges" and "TxDb". 2021-09-23 10:00:00 UTC 2021-09-23 13:00:00 UTC Australian BioCommons Australian BioCommons Melissa Burke (melissa@biocommons.org.au) [] BiologistsBioinformaticians 50 workshop expression_of_interest R statistical softwareBioconductorBioinformatics

    Panel Discussion: Improve visibility of research software for career advancement https://staging.dresa.org.au/events/panel-discussion-improve-visibility-of-research-software-for-career-advancement Research software is not only an essential part of doing research, but it is an important research output. The producers of pipelines, workflows and software packages are increasingly being recognised for their contributions. How can you make, share and maintain good research software in a way that will advance your career? Do you write code for your research? Are you making these new workflows, pipelines, scripts or computational methods available as software? Do you see your software contributions as a pathway to impact your career? If you answer yes to any of these questions, please join us! For this panel discussion we have invited people who invest a lot of their time, writing, reviewing and maintaining bioinformatics software tools. We will have a wide-ranging discussion on how this benefits researchers and others, the effect on career development, research impact via software and what can be done to increase the recognition for this work.

  • WEBINAR: Protection of genomic data and the Australian Privacy Act: when is genomic data ‘personal information’?

    6 April 2022

    WEBINAR: Protection of genomic data and the Australian Privacy Act: when is genomic data ‘personal information’? https://staging.dresa.org.au/events/webinar-protection-of-genomic-data-and-the-australian-privacy-act-when-is-genomic-data-personal-information It is easy to assume that genomic data will be captured by legal definitions of ‘health information’ and ‘genetic information’, but the legal meaning of ‘genetic information’ need not align with scientific categories. There are many different types of genomic data, with varied characteristics, uses and applications. Clarifying when genomic data is covered by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) is an ongoing evaluative exercise but is important for at least 3 reasons: 1. those subject to the Privacy Act need to be able to confidently navigate their responsibilities 2. understanding current controls is a prerequisite for meaningful external critique (and this is particularly important at a time when the Privacy Act is under review), and 3. while legislation that applies to state public sector agencies is generally distinct from the Privacy Act there are similarities that extend the relevance of the question when is genomic data ‘personal information’ under the Privacy Act? In this presentation, Mark will explore the relationship between the legal concept of genetic information and the concept of genomic data relevant to health and medical research, reflect on the characteristics of each, and the possibility of more clearly identifying the legal rights and responsibilities which attach to the use and disclosure of genomic data in the future. **Speaker:** Mark Taylor, Professor in Health Law and Regulation, Melbourne Law School; Director, Health, Law and Emerging Technologies (HeLEX), University of Melbourne. **How to join:** This webinar is free to join but you must [register for a place in advance](https://unimelb.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_zC3MlCjAQUq7sTVw8idvLA). 2022-04-06 12:00:00 UTC 2022-04-06 13:00:00 UTC Australian BioCommons Australian BioCommons Melissa Burke (melissa@biocommons.org.au) [] [] [] open_to_all EthicsHuman genomicsData privacyBioinformatics

    WORKSHOP: R - fundamental skills for biologists https://staging.dresa.org.au/events/workshop-r-fundamental-skills-for-biologists Biologists need data analysis skills to be able to interpret, visualise and communicate their research results. While Excel can cover some data analysis needs, there is a better choice, particularly for large and complex datasets. R is a free, open-source software and programming language that enables data exploration, statistical analysis, visualisation and more. The large variety of R packages available for analysing biological data make it a robust and flexible option for data of all shapes and sizes. Getting started can be a little daunting for those without a background in statistics and programming. In this workshop we will equip you with the foundations for getting the most out of R and RStudio, an interactive way of structuring and keeping track of your work in R. Using biological data from a model of influenza infection, you will learn how to efficiently and reproducibly organise, read, wrangle, analyse, visualise and generate reports from your data in R. Topics covered in this workshop include: 1. Spreadsheets, organising data and first steps with R 2. Manipulating and analysing data with dplyr and joining tables 3. Data visualisation 4. Summarized experiments and getting started with Bioconductor **Lead Trainer:** Dr Saskia Freytag (Laboratory Head, Personalised Oncology Division, WEHI) **Format** This online workshop will take place over a series of three-hour sessions. You must attend all four sessions in order to get the most out of the workshop. Expert trainers will guide you through each of the topics and provide activities and take home exercises to help you put your new skills into action. Support will be provided via Slack between sessions. **Date/time:** 1, 8, 15, and 22 June 2022: 2 - 5pm AEST/ 1:30-4:30pm ACST/ 12-3pm AWST 1 June 2022: Spreadsheets, organising data and first steps with R 8 June 2022: Manipulating and analysing data with dplyr and joining tables 15 June 2022: Data visualisation 22 June 2022: Summarized experiments and getting started with Bioconductor Participants must attend all four sessions **Learning outcomes** By the end of the workshop you should be able to: 1. Organise your data for effective use 2. Use RStudio to structure your work in R and run R packages 3. Make use of objects, vectors and functions in R 4. Load, inspect and manipulate data in R 5.
