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=mb47ac2fa9cc19cbb6e3b… Since we’re organizing sandwiches as usual please enter your presence under the link: https://www.termino.gv.at/meet/en/p/dc7f8e4704cb81c3754dd94759b70307-199960 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.
