What is a Data Carpentry workshop?
A Data Carpentry workshop is a hands-on training that covers the introductory computational skills needed for data management and analysis in all domains of research. Our lessons are build on the existing knowledge of learners to enable them to quickly apply skills learned to their own research. Our initial target audience is learners who have little to no prior computational experience. We create a friendly environment for learning to empower researchers and enable data driven discovery.
Short tutorials alternate with practical exercises, and all instruction is done via live coding. A Carpentry workshop is taught by at least one trained and badged instructor. Over the course of the workshop, instructors teach the lesson called "Genomics". The focus of the workshop is on working with genomics data, and data management and analysis for genomics research, including best practices for organization of bioinformatics projects and data, use of command line utilities, use of command line tools to analyze sequence quality and perform variant calling, and connecting to and using cloud computing.
