Hi everyone,
If you’re currently overwhelmed by the number of online-only bioinformatics courses and you’re specifically looking for in-person, hands-on training, we’re sharing our ecSeq 2026 workshop dates (Leipzig, Berlin & Munich, Germany).
We’re intentionally in-person first (4 out of 5 courses in 2026). Online learning can be great for getting an overview - but if your goal is to actually run analyses, troubleshoot errors, and understand your outputs, the biggest learning gains usually happen at the keyboard with a trainer in the room: immediate feedback, live debugging, and the kind of “why is my pipeline failing?” questions that are hard to resolve asynchronously.
2026 lineup (English, hands-on)
Online (1 course)
In-person (4 courses)
Practical notes:
Happy to answer questions here (who it’s for, prerequisites, which course fits which project).
