Hi all!
Long time no hear.
There are a series of bioinformatics webinars being run soon by Australian BioCommons, on the use of Containers. Here's the link: https://www.biocommons.org.au/events/containers-intro
[http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d3a4213cf4f5b00014ea1db/5d3a5c1b6311…]<https://www.biocommons.org.au/events/containers-intro>
WEBINAR SERIES: Using Containers in Bioinformatics — Australian BioCommons<https://www.biocommons.org.au/events/containers-intro>
Using containers in bioinformatics can bring benefits like software portability, data reproducibility and improved collaboration. Are containers the right fit for your research? This three-part series takes you from the absolute basics of containers through to demonstrating how to use containers in
www.biocommons.org.au
What's a container? It's a way of packaging up analyses with correct versions of software and data to make analyses highly reproducible, which as we know is incredibly important and often rather lacking in published work.
There's a really nice blog entry here on why containers, in particular one system called Docker, is handy. Very accessible read: link below.
If you're interested in "attending" the webinars then you can register to do so, and I think they'll be recorded.
After the webinars there will be some online workshops learning how to use containers; you don't have to worry about registering for them now but I'd like to get a sense if anyone was interested in *maybe* doing one of those. I get the impression they will use command-line tools but don't know yet.
Anyway, have a read over the long weekend:

Cheers for now,

Hi folks,
I nice opportunity to learn some data visualisation as it pertains to bioinformatics! Please register if you are interested. I'll be facilitating the event here in Sandy Bay if you would like to come along. The room holds about 15 (though if there's a sudden flurry of interest I'll try to find somewhere bigger!).
Cheers

Subject: Register now: Using Circos in Galaxy Australia webinar & workshop
Dear colleague,
We are excited to share the details of two upcoming Australian BioCommons / Galaxy Australia training events.
Lucky for us, Martin Krzywinksi from Canada's BC Cancer Genome Sciences Center is visiting Melbourne and he has agreed to take part in a couple of national training activities on Monday 3 February, 2020.
Martin Krzywinski works in bioinformatics, data visualization, science communication and the interface of science and art. He applies design, both data and artistic, to assist discovery, explanation and engagement with scientific data and concepts. Martin is the creator of Circos and hive plots and his information graphics have appeared in the New York Times, Wired, Scientific American and covers of numerous books and scientific journals such as Nature and Genome Research. He is a co-author of the Nature Methods Points of View and Points of Significance columns.
WEBINAR: The essence of data visualization in bioinformatics
Mon 3 Feb, 12:00-13:00 AEDT / 11:00-12:00 AEST / 9:00-10:00 AWST
WORKSHOP: Using Circos in Galaxy Australia
Mon 3 Feb, 14:00-17:00 AEDT / 13:00-16:00 AEST / 11:00-14:00 AWST
Further information and registration details are available here: https://www.biocommons.org.au/events<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/idNAC81Zm7f5A815Tn_Ywx?domain=biocommons.…>
Martin has put together a couple of posters to advertise the events (attached). Please distribute widely and we look forward to seeing you and your colleagues on the day.
Kind regards,

Hi there!
If you haven't registered for Phylomania 2019 (It Goes To Eleven) then there's still time. It runs from 20th to 22nd November, here in Sandy Bay.
While we are now in the throes of putting the schedule together we do have some room for a few more presentations, so head over to http://www.maths.utas.edu.au/phylomania/phylomania2019.htm and register!
This is *the* phylogenetics conference in Australia, even if we do say so ourselves: it's friendly, it's leading edge stuff, it's varied, and we have good food, and fantastic t-shirts..
Cheers,
Mike

In case this is true, check out https://www.biocommons.org.au/events where you can register for a free, easy afternoon of an introduction to phylogenetic estimation, guided by me and with the expert help of Dr Bennet McComish.
The venue is in the Maths and Physics building and it will run from 1-4pm.
This workshop is the first of two planned; the second will be a follow-up where you bring your own problematic data for discussion or help.
It will be run nationally via videoconfering technology, thanks to the amazing people at the Australian Biocommons, which used to be EMBL-ABR.
Let me know if you're interested, and go register! (Did I mention it's free?)

Five permanent positions in bioinformatics/biostatistics (M/F) at the Institut Pasteur (Paris)
The Hub of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics, created in 2015 to provide support in these domains to the Units and Platforms of the Institut Pasteur, is recruiting five bioinformaticians to continue the support activities and taking over the increasing requests for the analysis of biological data.
The recruited engineers will be allocated for part of their time to Research Units and/or Technology Platforms. Teaching missions (academic and/or professional education, possibly internationally) may also be requested.
Tasks and responsibilities:
The main mission is to provide support to Research Units and Platforms for the bioinformatics and/or biostatistics analysis of their data. This support includes :
- advising and guiding the implementation of methods and tools for the analysis of biological data,
- maintaining an active bibliographic survey and evaluating published tools and methods,
- developing, when necessary, new analytical methods and tools,
- analyzing data in collaboration with the Units and Platforms,
- participating in the development of national and international collaborative projects,
- ensuring the transfer of tools and expertise to the Units and Platforms,
- delivering training courses in bioinformatics and biostatistics,
- maintaining the methods and tools developed by the Units, and ensuring their integration into core software solutions like Galaxy or Snakemake,
- interacting with the Institut Pasteur International Network (IPIN, 33 institutes around the world), in particular for trainings and data analysis,
- participating in the writing of scientific articles.
Job profiles:
Several needs have been identified and the following profiles are expected:
- Analysis of standard HTS data (variant calling, genome assembly, differential expression, ...),
- Metagenomics, metatranscriptomics,
- Single-cell analysis ,
- Analysis of metabolomic data,
- Epigenomics and epitranscriptomics
- Flux cytometry data analysis
- Biological databases
- Proteomics (main affiliation to the UTechS Mass Spectrometry for Biology)
- Omics data analysis and integration (affiliation to the Hearing Institut)
Candidate profiles and conditions:
It is necessary to satisfy one of the two following profiles:
- Bac+5 level (Master, engineer or equivalent) in bioinformatics, statistics, applied mathematics, or a related field, followed by a professional experience of at least 3 years in research or support for research in bioinformatics, biostatistics, or biological data analysis,
- PhD in bioinformatics, statistics, applied mathematics or a related field, followed by at least 2 years of professional experience in research or research support in bioinformatics, biostatistics, or biological data analysis.
Teaching experience in bioinformatics/biostatistics will be appreciated.
The Hub and Institut Pasteur are committed to foster gender equality, so female candidates are encouraged to apply.
To apply:
Applications (cover letter, detailed CV, and reference contact) should be submitted online via the following URL:
https://c3bi.pasteur.fr/jobs/hub-2019-available-positions/hub-2019-job-appl…<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/DXEpCNLwPnf2DYE6smkifB?domain=c3bi.pasteu…>
The deadline for applying is September 8 of 2019. Candidate pre-selection will be on October 1st . Successful candidates will be received for interviews between October 8 to 10 of 2019 (please, make sure to be available for these dates). Hiring date is planned between December 2019 and March 2020.

Hi there,
Tracey and I supervise a student, Waleed, who is looking at zinc uptake and translocation in barley. He would like to do some association mapping of Zn in barley as part of his PhD.
Waleed's done some association mapping and blasting before, but Tracey and I are not experts in this area. Is there anyone at UTAS who might be able to help him get started?
Thanks
