Featured this semester: HPC for Genomics Life Scientists 🧬

We are especially excited to offer a new HPC for Genomics Life Scientists workshop series, developed in partnership with the Clemson University Genomics and Bioinformatics Facility (CUGBF). The series is designed to help life sciences researchers understand and apply Clemson’s high-performance computing resources to genomics research.

HPC for Genomics Life Scientists: Foundations
This two-part workshop introduces the foundations of HPC for genomics research and how research computing resources can support common genomics workflows.

• Part 1: Monday, August 31
• Part 2: Wednesday, September 9
• Time: 1:00–4:30 PM
• Location: LSB 142

HPC for Genomics Life Scientists: Practical Demonstrations
This three-part workshop builds on those foundations with practical examples demonstrating how HPC resources can be applied to genomics data and analyses.

• Part 1: Monday, October 5
• Part 2: Tuesday, October 6
• Part 3: Wednesday, October 7
• Time: 1:00–4:30 PM
• Location: LSB 142
