Past Elevate Training

PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK

Several ways the training has benefited our participants:

"I was fond of how the presenter interacted with the audience and how made a safe learning space for everyone."

"I enjoyed the learning and Dr. Rian Pierneef explained everything well. I also enjoyed the networking, getting to know people that have different interests but are all into bioinformatics."

"I’d like it to build future on illustration part I.e show the application in the workfield."

Reads2Genomes: Reconstructing SAGs and MAGs with KBase

4 - 5 September

Nelson Mandela University, Port Elizabeth, (SASBi/SAGS conference)

The "Reconstructing SAGs & MAGs with KBase" workshop was a two-day event that focused on the bioinformatic applications for biologists implemented in the KBase environment. Throughout the workshop, we demonstrated the capabilities of KBase as an alternative to command-line tools. The KBase platform was hardware agnostic, allowing participants to use their own devices during the sessions. No previous bioinformatic experience was required.
