DESCRIPTION:Biocontainers (101) Biocontainers (101) is a basic level cours
 e to learn skills required for running bioinformatics applications in a co
 ntainerised environment. This is a remote course and includes both lecture
 s and hands-on exercises.Why this bio-course on containersBioinformatics t
 ools often require installing different dependencies in a controlled envir
 onment. Containers allow you to logically package your application (e.g.\,
  a bioinformatics tool) together with libraries and other dependencies\, p
 roviding isolated environments for running your software services. Contain
 erised applications can be run in an isolated runtime environment independ
 ent of the actual environment (e.g.\, private data center\, the public clo
 ud\, or even a developer’s personal laptop) in which the applications ar
 e running in. These are recently gaining popularity as a standard way to d
 istribute\, deploy\, and run services by developers and system administrat
 ors. Expected learning in this courseIn this basic course\, you will be in
 troduced to the fundamentals of container technology (mainly\, docker) in 
 addition to the selected examples of containerised bioinformatics applicat
 ions. This basic understanding of containers is necessary to be able to wo
 rk with bio applications in a containerised environment with different opt
 ions and requirements.More specifically\, you will learn:- The essential c
 oncepts of running docker containers- How to use docker volumes to manage 
 persistent data- The basics of docker networks- The containerised applicat
 ions in Bioinformatics- The basic Singularity concepts for running in HPC 
 environmentAfter this course\, one will be able to launch and work with pr
 e-existing containerised applications in his or her work-life as a bioinfo
 rmatician.Pre-requisites:One should be comfortable working with the comman
 d line environment in Linux and able to use any common editors (e.g.\, vi
 \, nano\, or emacs\, etc.) in order to get the maximum benefit from this c
 ourse.  So\, ideal candidates for this course are: -       Bioinfor
 maticians or computer scientists with some bio-background-       Bio
 logists with Linux skillsExpected way of learning-       Lectures- 
       Tutorials-       Hands-on assignmentsPracticalities (More
  information will be updated here)Biocontainers course uses VirtualBox env
 ironment for hands-on sessions. Course participants have to make sure that
  VirtualBox will be working on your computer. Instructions on downloading 
 the image and working with VirtualBox.Your own Linux environment may be fi
 ne as long as you take care of it by yourself. e-Lena e-learning platform
  will be used in the course.  LecturersLaxman Yetukuri and Ari-Matti Sare
