Subject: [BioClients] Course: Bioinformatics with large data-sets, 11.11.2010

Hello,

CSC is organizing a course on bioinformatics with large data-sets on 11th November 2010.
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 an 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.
Topics we will touch on this course include:

-          How to move large data-sets between CSC and your own system

-          How and where to store the data at CSC

-          How to best utilize the CSC computing resources for your data

-          Which machine is best suited to your job

-          What are your options for running your job

-          How to run batch jobs and array jobs

-          How to optimize your batch script

-          How to use grid resources

Registration closes on 1st November, 2010.

I will be happy to answer any further questions you may have about the course.

Best regards,
Ari-Matti Saren
