Bimonthly themed study group #4
Description
Alsalam alikm..
I hope this finds you in the best of states..
This is just to get back to moving with our study group, after such a long discontinuity... This time, we are proposing to focus on a specific topic/ theme for a certain duration, and read and discuss avenues relating to it...
Each other week we would be posting papers, tools, or methods relating to the chosen theme, and discuss that paper in depth for 1 hour. A moderator (or a group of moderators) will be assigned each time for each session, who will mainly direct the discussion to be of value...
The time of these meetings will be each other Wednesday (twice a month, starting this week, 17/8/2016), from 03:00 to 04:00
Our theme of choice for this quarter of the year (up till November/December) is the topic of variant calling. But before that, we will spend a session on Literature mining, in a session moderated by Hassan Alsafi and Maram Mohamed.
Here are some useful resources for this week's session:
- Study Guides : Main index: http://library.bcu.ac.uk/learner/Guide%20Index.htm
- Reading scientific papers from Jeff Leek's group: https://github.com/jtleek/readingpapers
- "A statistical definition for reproducibility and repliability": http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/07/29/066803
Please feel free to suggest papers, tools, methods or any other input will be of high value...
Hope to see you in the lab, or online via: https://mconf.sanren.ac.za/webconf/study_group !
fi aman Allah,
Azza
