Are you new to bioinformatics or interested in learning how to run genomic analyses on the Tufts High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster?

This workshop introduces you to Linux and bioinformatics basics within the Tufts HPC environment. You'll learn how to:

• Navigate the Tufts HPC system via both the command line and Open OnDemand

• Write and submit SLURM job scripts for CPU and GPU tasks

• Use Nextflow to run scalable, reproducible pipelines

• Understand what HPC resources are available to bioinformatics users at Tufts

• Organize your data and jobs for efficient and reproducible workflows

This session is ideal for life science researchers, graduate students, and postdocs who are new to using HPC for bioinformatics and want to build a strong foundation for future analysis.

Prerequisites
