Next week's Bioinformatics Club
by Michael Charleston 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Hello folks, It’s about time we had a presentation from someone other than me – does anyone have a paper they’d like to present, or a seminar they’ve prepared for something else? If not then I *can* do one on cophylogenetic analysis or network alignment, but then I’ll have nothing up my sleeve…. Oh, and if you would like to get COMBINE to do a workshop in RNASeq analysis<http://combine-australia.github.io/2016-05-11-RNAseq/> please let me know. If there isn’t interest we’ll do something else.. Cheers Mike p.s. What about using the “off” weeks for more social, less formal ad-hoc get-togethers?

Hi again, This one is for all the postgrads or supervisors with relevant postgrads. The EMBL Australia Postgraduate Symposium - run by students for students - is coming up. I highly recommend you get your students to attend, it is brilliant. Last message from me today ;) Thanks, Jac EMBL Australia 2016 Postgraduate Symposium Early bird registration now open - 2016 EMBL Australia Postgraduate Symposium The EMBL Australia 2016 Postgraduate Symposium Committee would like to invite all research students to attend the 2016 EMBL Australia Postgraduate Symposium. Symposium Date: Wednesday 16th November - Friday 18th November 2016 Venue: South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI), Adelaide, SA Speakers: We have an excellent line-up of both national and international speakers including Prof John Quackenbush and Prof Nadia Rosenthal, among many others Registration and abstract submission are now open! Click here<https://eaps2016.eventbrite.com.au/> to register and secure your place. End of early bird registration: 26th August 2016 Due date for abstracts: 2nd September 2016 The symposium brings together students from a broad range of disciplines around Australia and is a great opportunity to showcase your work in an open and friendly environment. We welcome all levels of research students; Honours, Masters and PhD. To make the symposium more accessible to interstate students we are subsidising the cost of accommodation at YHA Adelaide; only a short walk from SAHMRI. Availability is limited so be sure to register early to avoid disappointment. We will also be hosting a significantly subsidised conference dinner at the Adelaide Pavilion.

Risky but worth it
by Michael Charleston 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Hi all, In attempt to help you all use the NeCTAR national computing (cloud-based) infrastructure, I'm going to break my usual rule (Never Do Live Demos) and take you through the why & how to set yourself up with a computer in the cloud. I'll choose a willing guinea pig (I have a volunteer already) and go through how to set up and then use a FREE, pretty powerful computer for your bioinformatics. Don't forget, Thursday 4pm in the maths & physics building -- come along!

First announcement! Phylomania 2016
by Michael Charleston 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Dear colleague, We’re delighted to announce the 8th annual theoretical phylogenetics meting, a.k.a. Phylomania 2016, to be held in Hobart from November 16th to 18th inclusive. We would love it if you would consider coming along! It’s a great, friendly, relaxed conference with a consistently high standard of presentations. And it’s in beautiful Hobart, which if you haven’t visited, you really should. Here’s the blurb, which I hope you’ll both read and circulate. This is the first call to register to attend Phylomania 2016 - The 8th Annual conference of the UTAS Theoretical Phylogenetics group, to be held 16th-18th November in Hobart, Tasmania. Phylomania will be held within the School of Physical Sciences at the University of Tasmania. The meeting will bring together mathematicians and biologists to discuss current research in phylogenetics. All the details and some pertinent local information can be found at the meeting website http://www.maths.utas.edu.au/phylomania/phylomania2016.htm General registration is expected to be $175, with reduced rates for students, to cover catering. To register your interest in attending please use the form on the website given above. The payment system is not yet set up but this gives you an idea of the cost. There’s also a place there for you to enter an abstract: if you do, use normal text, html, or LaTeX. If you only have a (rough!) title just now that’s fine, you can update us with more information closer to the conference. You can bring a talk, or a poster, or both! Please do feel free to forward this announcement to others who may be interested in attending — the more the merrier!

Early bird registration for Winter School closes tomorrow (15 June 2016). Registration includes tasty lunches and morning/afternoon teas! All for only $260 for students if you register now! ** 2016 Winter School in Mathematical & Computational Biology ** A premier annual bioinformatics training event in Australia for 13 years, the Winter School in Mathematical & Computational Biology will be held 4 to 8 July 2016 at the Institute for Molecular Science, The University of Queensland, St Lucia. Only $260 for the whole week for early bird students! The series of winter schools is designed to introduce bioinformatics, mathematical and computational biology to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers and others working in the fields of biology, mathematics, statistics, computer science, information technology, complex systems analysis, and chemical and medical sciences and engineering. THEMES * Next generation sequencing & bioinformatics * Bioinformatics methods, models and applications to disease * Advanced bio-data visualisation * Ecogenomics FEATURED SPEAKERS -- Professor Burkhard Rost, Technische Universität München (TUM), Munich, Germany -- Professor Ed DeLong, University of Hawaii, USA -- Professor Howard Ochman, University of Texas, USA -- Dr Seán O'Donoghue, CSIRO -- Dr Kate Patterson, Garvin Institute of Medical Research -- Dr Mathieu Bourgey, Research and Development Canadian Centre for Computational Genomics (C3G), Canada Speakers at Winter School are chosen as great presenters and world leaders in their field. See website<http://bioinformatics.org.au/ws16> for the complete list of 30 or so speakers and presentation titles. WORKSHOP & BOOTCAMP A Genomics Virtual Laboratory training workshop (limited places) will be run during the Winter School on Wednesday 6th July. A Software Carpentry Bootcamp (11-12 July) is also being run in conjunction with the Winter School. Both events were fully subscribed in days last year, so register early to avoid disappointment. FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS WINTER SCHOOLS “I would strongly encourage all biologists even without any mathematical background to attend the Winter School.” “Fantastic speakers.” “Great networking opportunities.” “It takes special talent to pull off a conference people actually enjoy attending and it was thanks to some of the more charismatic orators, that I was able to enjoy the Winter School so much.” “Gave me the confidence I need to talk to other people and bioinformaticians about the analysis of my NGS data. Thanks."
