AI for Bioinformatics: Practical Skills for the Modern Researcher
When
Where
Learn how to use publicly available AI as your research assistant: brainstorming an experiment, furthering your hypotheses, aiding with literature reviews, identifying potential insights, and helping with code and computation. This session will focus on using ChatGPT (or your favourite AI) as writing partners and productivity aids — no programming required. You’ll leave with practical prompt templates and strategies to save time and communicate more clearly.
This workshop provides graduate students in public universities with the necessary skills and tools to analyze biological data using high-performance computing resources.
Participants will acquire hands-on experience with industry-standard command-line tools (CLI) for DNA and RNA sequencing analysis, sequence manipulation and alignment, and pipeline management for automating complex workflows. They will also learn about differential expression analysis for identifying genes with altered expression levels, data visualization techniques for effectively presenting results, and the basics of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in bioinformatics.
Upon completion of this workshop, graduates will be capable of using these powerful tools and methods to address real-world biological challenges and make significant contributions to bioinformatics research.
