This series of workshops is intended for anyone using bioinformatics softwares on the UNITY high-performance computing platform. Over the course of three sessions, participants will explore softwares available on UNITY to preprocess sequencing data before analysis, perform sequence assembly and variant calling. Each workshop will include a demonstration on how to use these tools efficiently.

This workshop provides a beginner-friendly introduction to R and RStudio for data analysis and visualization. Participants will learn how to import data, perform basic data manipulation, create simple graphs, and run introductory statistical analyses. Through hands-on exercises, attendees will gain the foundational skills needed to use R for coursework and research.

Unity facilitator Cecile Cres of the University of Rhode Island will present a workshop on ColabFold. During this workshop, participants will gain experience with protein structure prediction using Colabfold. Talking points will include prediction of single and complex structures, how to request computer resources efficiently and how to interpret the predicted protein models. This workshop will provide direct practical experience by using a Jupyter notebook on the Unity OnDemand interface. This workshop will be held remotely via Zoom.
