About

The UAB Biological Data Science Core (U-BDS) is a research resource that provides services to the UAB community in a variety of tasks linked to analysis, training, pipeline and app development. For more information linked to the core and its services please visit the main U-BDS page at: https://www.uab.edu/cores/ircp/bds

This page is specifically dedicated to training resources we share. Our long-term goal is to continue to add more training guides which will aid the scientific community in the implementation of commonly used resources in computational biology. Thus, please check back regularly for new material. If you have any ideas for training guides, please open an issue linked to the GitHub of this webpage describing the topic you would like to see: https://github.com/U-BDS/training_guides/issues ; NOTE that we will prioritize topics which overlap with areas of research/support we offer at U-BDS.
