Kubeflow: an open, community driven project to make it easy to deploy and manage an ML stack on Kubernetes

BioStar — Fri, 16 Nov 2018 15:05:14 -0600

The Kubeflow project is dedicated to making deployments of machine learning (ML) workflows on Kubernetes simple, portable and scalable. Our goal is not to recreate other services, but to provide a straightforward way to deploy best-of-breed open-source systems for ML to diverse infrastructures. Anywhere you are running Kubernetes, you should be able to run Kubeflow.

Tiny Python3.6 Notebook

Neel — Sat, 03 Jun 2017 03:16:28 -0500

This is not so much an instructional manual, but rather notes, tables, and examples for Python syntax. It was created by the author as an additional resource during training, meant to be distributed as a physical notebook. Participants (who favor the physical characteristics of dead tree material) could add their own notes, thoughts, and have a valuable reference of curated examples.

How far can bioinformatics go creating organisms used for testing?

Fri, 17 Oct 2014 02:08:16 -0500

"I think you can get very far on a technical level. The problem is that a human body is more complex than just one cell." ... "At some point we still need clinical tests on animals and humans before we use it for real treatment. But we will likely be able to remove 99 % of animal tests in the future." Erik Lindahl, Professor of Theoretical and Computational Biophysics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology is telling us about his work. From the episode "Science for life – mapping the building blocks of the human body". Watch the rest of the talk, and other talks at www.crosstalks.tv Crosstalks is an academic talkshow produced by KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University.

Graduate research assistantships @ University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL)

Wed, 22 Oct 2014 10:05:31 -0500

Graduate research assistantships in quantitative genetics are available with Gota Morota in the Department of Animal Science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL).

Current projects in the Morota lab include developing kernel-based whole-genome prediction and kernel-based genome-wide association models, polygenic modeling of binary traits, reexamining the results from quantitative genetics analysis in light of functional annotation, and extending kernel methods (such as GBLUP and RKHS) specifically tailored for diverse types of emerging omics data.

In addition, candidates will be expected to leverage opportunities to interact with faculty in animal genetics and biometrics at the UNL in the areas of bioinformatics, breeding, functional genomics, quantitative genetics, and molecular genetics.

Candidates should have a B.S. or M.S. degree in quantitative disciplines with strong background and interest in statistical computing.
The starting date is Fall 2015.
For more information about research in the Morota lab at the UNL, visit: http://www.morotalab.org

A letter of interest in the position, C.V., and contact information for
three references should be emailed to Gota Morota at .
Review of applications will begin immediately, and continue until the
positions are filled. Informal inquiries are also welcome.

Genome assembly tutorial "Genome Assembly for short and long reads"

Jit — Sat, 19 Jan 2019 17:29:53 -0600

In this lab we will perform de novo genome assembly of a bacterial genome. You will be guided through the genome assembly starting with data quality control, through to building contigs and analysis of the results. At the end of the lab you will know:

How to perform basic quality checks on the input data
How to run a short read assembler on Illumina data
How to run a long read assembler on Pacific Biosciences or Oxford Nanopore data
How to improve the accuracy of a long read assembly using short reads
How to assess the quality of an assembly
