Joint de.NBI & NFDI4Microbiota Metagenomics Training Course 2022
The aim of this 3-day workshop, hosted jointly by the German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (de.NBI) and the NFDI4Microbiota, will be to give students a brief overview of the tools and bioinformatics techniques available for the analysis of next generation sequence (NGS) data from microbial communities. The format will comprise a mixture of lectures and hands-on tutorials where students will process example data sets in real-time in the de.NBI cloud environment.
Date: 23. - 25.11.2022 Bielefeld
Location: Bielefeld University, Universitätsstr. 25, 33615 Bielefeld
Venue: Main building (UHG) V6-116
A brief agenda can be found here.

Omics Fusion - Online User Meeting
We are pleased to announce the first Omics Fusion User Meeting by the German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (de.NBI). Aim of the meeting is, first, to give a short overview of our web application Fusion (Brink et al. 2016) and introduce methods for the exploration of single as well as multi-level omics datasets. Second, we are happy to take questions and discuss all requests regarding omics data analyses and visualization with the software such as data normalization strategies and handling of missing values, detection of groups of transcripts, proteins and/or metabolites with similar patterns of expression/abundance using cluster analyses, visualization of multi-omics data in the context of metabolic pathways, or the identification of differentially regulated transcripts, proteins, and metabolites.
Date: May 27th, 2018
Location: Online via Zoom
Starting time: 9:15 am
This workshop is intended for current or potential users of Omics Fusion with a molecular biology background in transcriptomics (e.g. microarrays, RNA-seq), proteomics (e.g. LC-MS/MS) and/or metabolomics (e.g. GC-MS).

de.NBI - Getting Started With the de.NBI Cloud
The German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (de.NBI) is operating an OpenStack cloud computing infrastructure for the life science community (https://cloud.denbi.de/). The goal of this course is to give a fundamental introduction to the underlying OpenStack infrastructure and is dedicated to bioinformaticians or experienced computational data analyst who want to utilize scalable and flexible cloud resources for their research. Participants will learn how to setup a cloud project and work with virtual instances, how to efficiently utilize cloud computing resources, about networking and security issues, means of deploying bioinformatics tools in the cloud, and how to set up a customized compute cluster in a cloud environment using BiBiGrid. Course subjects will be covered by short talks and practical hands-on sessions.
