Dear Colleagues,

 

we’re starting with our bioinformatics round table series for this year on 22 March 2023 from 12.00 until 13.45 at ZMF Seminar room EG86/87.

You can attend it also over WebEx using the link: https://medunigraz.webex.com/medunigraz-en/j.php?MTID=mb47ac2fa9cc19cbb6e3b84850801a04d

Since we’re organizing sandwiches as usual please enter your presence under the link:

In our meeting we’ll have two speakers presenting their work.

  1. Machine listening in medicine: Is speech the new blood? Florian Pokorny
  2. Data Wrangling in the Fast Lane: A Tool Comparison and Live Demonstration with RNASeq Data Natalie Bordag

Use case: You have data with new structure and want to easily explore what to do with it. For that you want to find inconsistencies, explore outliers/connections in multiple plots, visualize subsets, merge/anneal multiple sources, tidy up entries, test filtrations, test calculated values, try transformations/normalizations/scaling and generate ideas on how to best continue with data analysis.

Introduction: interactive data wrangling with previews and quick visualizations in dashboards enable data drill down and fast prototyping, this saves tons of times to R/Python

Criteria for beauty contest: 

·         functionality (joins, pivots, calculations, filtration, interactive)

·         plot types (trellis/facet, interactive highlights)

·         performance, response times

·         GUI intuitiveness, preview of operations, time to learn

·         reusability of workflows, sharing

·         Cost, data security, infrastructure (local/server)

Results benchmarked against Tibco Spotfire

Live demonstration with medium-complexity example (RNASeq data QC)

 

Besides the two presentations there are additional points on our agenda:

  1. Integration of the new powerful GPU node in MedBioNode cluster
  2. Announcement JupyterHub server
  3. Switching RStudio server over secure connection rstudio.medunigraz.at
  4. IT-Infrastructure (Current State, Needs, future plans)

 

Thanks very much in advance for your interest and cooperation.

 

Best regards,

Slave
