Hi Aarti,

The short answer to your question is no.

We do provide training on how to use Galaxy to do bioinformatic analysis. See the Events page (http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Events) for what's coming up.

We don't offer training on NGS analysis per se. That is a very complex subject and we currently try to focus on helping people learn to use Galaxy so that they can explore the pluses and minuses of different approaches with their data.

In the long run, we do have hopes of creating Galaxy-based curricula for teaching bioinformatics. I can imagine one of the topics being de novo assembly, but we aren't there yet.

Thanks,

Dave C

We are working on developing NGS data analysis pipeline. Does your institution have a training program where one or two people from my team can be trained on NGS data analysis, particularly de novo genome assembly?
