Hi everyone
Instats is excited to offer a 5-day seminar, Accessible Bioinformatics for Windows Users, livestreaming October 2nd - 6th and led by Andres Zhou Tsang from Adelaide University. Because many bioinformatics tools are designed for Linux while Windows remains the most common operating system on personal and institutional computers, this workshop provides a practical pathway for researchers who need to run Linux-based bioinformatics workflows without investing in a dedicated Linux machine or relying on cloud services. Participants will learn to install and configure a Windows-based bioinformatics environment using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), while working with tools such as conda, Notepad++, R, Python, IGV, and FastQC to process, visualize, and assess sequencing data. Through hands-on sessions covering FASTA formats, basecalling, genome assembly, sequence alignment, RNA-seq, gene annotation, and differential expression analysis, this seminar equips Windows users with accessible, practical skills for conducting common bioinformatics analyses.
Sign up today to secure your spot, and feel free to share this opportunity with colleagues and students who might benefit!
Best wishes
Michael Zyphur
Professor and Director
