DESCRIPTION:This course focuses on the development and execution of bioinfo
 rmatics pipelines and on their optimization with regards to computing time
  and disk space. In an era where the data produced per-analysis is in the 
 order of terabytes\, simple serial bioinformatic pipelines are no longer f
 easible. Hence the need for scalable\, high-performance parallelization an
 d analysis tools which can easily cope with large-scale datasets. To this 
 end we will study the common performance bottlenecks emerging from everyda
 y bioinformatic pipelines and see how to strike down the execution times f
 or effective data analysis on current and future supercomputers.\nAs a cas
 e study\, two different bioinformatics pipelines (whole-exome and transcri
 ptome analysis) will be presented and re-implemented on the supercomputers
  of Cineca thanks to ad-hoc hands-on sessions aimed at applying the concep
 ts explained in the course.\n\nSkills:\nBy the end of the course each stud
 ent should be able to:\n\nManage the transfer of big data files and/or lar
 ge number of files from the local computer to the Cineca platforms and vic
 e versa\nPrepare the environment to analyse big amount of biological data 
 on a supercomputer\nRun single parallel bioinformatic programs on a superc
 omputer\nCombine bioinformatics applications into pipelines on a supercomp
 uter\n\n\nTarget audience:\nBiologists\, bioinformaticians and computer sc
 ientists interested in approaching large-scale NGS-data analysis for the f
 irst time.\n\nPre-requisites:\nBasic knowledge of python and shell command
  line. A very basic knowledge of biology is recommended but not required.\
 n\nGrant\nThe course is FREE of charge.\nThe lunch for the three days will
  be offered to all the participants and some grants are available. The onl
 y requirement to be eligible is to be not funded by your institution to at
 tend the course and to work or live in an institute outside the Roma area.
  The grant  will be 300 euros for students working and living outside Ita
 ly and 150 euros for students working and living in Italy (except Rome are
 a). Some documentation will be required and the grant will be paid only af
 ter a certified presence of minimum 80% of the lectures.\n\nFurther inform
 ation about how to request the grant\, will be provided at the confirmatio
 n of the course: about 3 weeks before the starting date.\nhttps://events.p
