Courses

We offer courses on a regular basis. As soon as there are enough people interested in a course, we will set up a date for it. Here are the courses we offer:


KNIME Workshop

The Technology Development Studio of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden offers hands-on courses for working with quantitative data with KNIME.

  1. Fundamental aspects of working with KNIME
  2. Data input/output
  3. Data wrangling (filter data, join/concatenate tables, group/pivot, rule engine etc)
  4. Data visualization (boxplot, barplot etc)
  5. Automation using loops and flow variables
  6. Clustering (various clustering methods and distance measures)

This course is aimed at people without expertise in KNIME and in programming dealing with quantitative data.
Participants should bring their own computer. All software is open source, instruction for installation will be sent ahead of the course.

For registration and further information please contact the TDS (tds-clinic@mpi-­cbg.de).
