Bioinformatics for T-Cell immunology - Bioinformatics tools and resources for immunology

Presentation on resources and tools (accompanied by a list of links) and how to stay abreast of new developments in the field. The trainer will also briefly describe the practicalities necessary for efficient and future-proof analysis: data and metadata rules, ideas for organising project files, and how to store and share code and data.

Learning outcome
By the end of this session you will be able to:

• Access immunology-related tools and bioinformatic resources
• Recognise key conditions for accessing and maintaining resources for use in research
• Identify the importance of file system and project organisation structure
