A lesson introducing the Snakemake workflow system for bioinformatics analysis. The Snakemake system enables the writing of reliable, scalable and reproducible scientific workflows as a series of chained rules. This lesson introduces the core concepts of Snakemake in the context of a typical analysis task, aligning short cDNA reads to a reference transcriptome.

Prerequisites:

This is an intermediate lesson and assumes learners have some prior experience in bioinformatics:

• Familiarity with the Bash command shell, including concepts like pipes, variables, loops and scripts.
• Knowing about bioinformatics fundamentals like the FASTQ file format and read mapping, in order to understand the example workflow.

No previous knowledge of Snakemake or workflow systems, or Python programming, is assumed.

Date & Time: 3-5pm on 14^th, 15^th, 21^st, 22^nd, 28^th of March
