Chapter 2 Program

The workshop takes place on the 13th and 14th of January from 9am – 5pm (CET). Short breaks will be scheduled between sessions.

The practical sessions consists of a set of example multi-omics analysis workflows. It is assumed that you have already installed the required software. Do not hesitate to ask support from the course assistants.
