The Genome Analysis Centre - AllBio: Open Science & Reproducibility Best Practice Workshop

abernard102@gmail.com 2014-08-07

Summary:

"Under the auspices of AllBio, this workshop will gather together both researchers and non-researchers that have been working within different life science fields but who share one common interest: open science and reproducibility! AllBio coordinates the efforts to transfer and adapt those technologies initially developed to study the human genome to other fields such as microbial, plant, and livestock bioinformatics. Openness not only exists in terms of publications and data, but can be applied to the research process itself. More than ever, given the magnitude of data the ability to adopt best practice in workflows, standards, tools for storing and sharing the actual data, as well as its analysis is key to making progress in science and discovery.

Researchers need to have mechanisms and tools to share methods, data, preliminary results, workflows, annotations protocols etc. in a traceable and identifiable manner. The era of cyber infrastructure brings great opportunities for sharing and enhancing collaboration.  This workshop will concentrate on the creation of 3 case studies, inspired by the projects submitted in AllBio, where participants will work there and then to create a workflow, adopt standards and tools as well as to develop list of skills and outline future training which will address how to ensure that future researchers can also adopt these.  The final agenda will be defined together with participants as will the key outcomes."
