---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:42:24 +0300 From: Ari-Matti Saren <Ari-Matti.Saren(a)csc.fi> To: "bioscience(a)postit.csc.fi" <bioscience(a)postit.csc.fi>, "bioclients(a)postit.csc.fi" <bioclients(a)postit.csc.fi> Subject: [BioClients] New course at CSC: Bioinformatics with large data-set Dear CSC Customer, CSC is offering a course: "Bioinformatics with large data-sets" on 14.5. 2009. Modern research methods in biosciences can rapidly produce very large data-sets. While the actual analysis methods typically do not change, the handling of large data-sets gives rise to new challenges and scalability issues. While it is, for example, quite feasible to do BLAST analysis for tens of thousands of sequences, it is not feasible to do it by cutting-and-pasting them one by one into a web form. The CSC computing resources are well suited to performing such large scale analysis. There can, however, be huge difference in the time and resources required depending how the analysis is set up. This course will offer an introduction on how to best utilize the CSC computing environment to move, store and analyze large data-sets. Examples used on the course will be mostly from sequence analysis, but the methods presented are easily adapted to any kind of computational analysis. The course is intended as on introduction to the subject. No previous familiarity with large scale computation is required, but basic familiarity with command line based systems (such as the CSC application servers) is helpful. Please visit the course homepages http://www.csc.fi/english/csc/courses/archive/biolargedata_may2009 for more information and registration! Also pass this message along to your colleagues or students who might be interested in the course.
