We are a local chapter of R-Ladies, a global non-profit organization encouraging, inspiring and empowering females and non-binary people to become contributors and leaders in the R programming community (https://rladies.org/).Our mission is to create a friendly, inclusive and diverse community for people who code or would like to learn how to code in R in Vancouver area. As a community we focus on giving opportunities, mentorship and voice to females and non binary people, an underrepresented group in the programming realm.Join our community at https://www.meetup.com/R-Ladies-Vancouver

Sharing stories from the Hackseq19 - Bioinformatics Hackathon in October. New packages we used and new tricks we learned from each other

Dialpad Canada Inc.

We are sharing what was accomplished during Hackseq19. During that hackathon we worked on a project on visualizing bioinformatic trends (https://github.com/hackseq/hs19-trends) using maps, racing bar graphs and bigrams. No previous bioinformatics knowledge necessary!A little bit about our speakers:Diana Lin:I’m a first-year graduate student at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, BC. In July 2019, I started my Master of Science in Bioinformatics. In 2018, I finished my Bachelor of Science in Physiology at McGill University. Following my graduation, I completed an 8-month internship at the Bioinformatics Technology Lab. My work is currently on assembling and annotating various transcriptomes and datamining these transcriptomes for antimicrobial peptides sequences.Emma Garlock:I am a first year Masters Student in Dr. Fiona Brinkman’s lab at Simon Fraser University in the MBB department. I am part of the SFU/UBC joint bioinformatics program. I am originally from Halifax, and completed my BSc. Honours Biochemistry at Mount Allison University in May 2019. While on the east coast my research focused on using SNPs to identify potential virulence factors in lobster pathogens. My current research focuses on identifying correlations between early life exposures and dysbioisis of the gut microbiome.******About the workshop &amp; instructions:-Please expect a hands-on session in a friendly and laid-back atmosphere where we all encouraged to learn together.- All levels are welcome, but be prepared that we created this with beginners in mind.
