Workshop dates: Sunday, 8 October 2017 [post doc/ early career scientist stream] (08:30-17:15); Monday, 9 October 2017 [student stream] (08:30-17:00)

Venue: Ocean Room, Radisson Blu Hotel, Dakar, Senegal

Workshop organisers and sponsors: H3ABioNet, NIH Common Fund

Workshop trainers and support: Nicola Mulder, Sumir Panji, Ayton Meintjes, Scott Hazelhurst, Fourie Joubert, Alia Benkahla and Faisal Fadlemola.

Course Overview: This interactive workshop will provide an overview of data management, analysis and submission for H3Africa projects. It also provides an opportunity for Data Support Working Group members, who represent the H3Africa projects to engage with H3ABioNet and discuss their needs.

Intended Audience: This workshop is aimed at Data Support Working Group members who should be the H3Africa project data managers, data analysts or bioinformaticians. It is important that the attendees have knowledge of the data being generated by their H3Africa projects and information about the project’s data analysis plan.

Syllabus: Participants will discuss their current data plans and challenges. Lectures will be given on Clinical data collection & storage, overview of GWAS/NGS/microbiome processing, downstream analysis (Variant annotation, meta-analysis, structure, ancGWAS), Data transfer considerations, security, data processing options, and H3Africa Archive and EGA submission. This will be followed by discussion on developing data management plans (with reference to the article: Michener WK (2015) Ten Simple Rules for Creating a Good Data Management Plan. PLoS Comput Biol 11(10): e1004525), and interactive sessions discussing specific projects.

Prerequisites: Participants should complete the survey at: H3Africa Data Support workshop planning survey - Senegal 2016. One survey needs to be completed per H3Africa project.

Objectives:

  • Participants will learn how to develop a data management plan.
  • Participants will gain basic knowledge on issues around data security & submission.
  • Participants should come out understanding what considerations there are for their own data analysis, storage and compute requirements.
  • Participants will be able to engage with H3ABioNet on their needs and issues.

Workshop limitations: This workshop will provide a foundation for continued learning in the handling of H3Africa project data. It will not make one an expert in specific data  analysis pipelines.
