An important part of the CLIMB-BIG-DATA remit is to provide training events including workshops, hackathons and meetings to train and strengthen the microbial bioinformatics community.
Two new training centres were purpose-built at Warwick and Swansea. In addition, the Centre for Computational Biology at Birmingham was upgraded with CLIMB funds. All the centres will hold CLIMB-BIG-DATA workshops and meetings.
We provide tutorials through our CLIMB-BIG-DATA documentation website.
If you have specific queries, you can send an email to support@climb.ac.uk. This will automatically open a ticket and our team will reach out to you.
This Discourse community forum is for users of the CLIMB-BIG-DATA infrastructure to share pipelines, data, experiences etc. with the UK microbiology community and to seek and provide help from other CLIMB-BIG-USERS users and administrators.
Some of the tutorials available are pasted here below. For a full list, please refer to the online CLIMB-BIG-DATA Community Forum.
