This tutorial demonstrates how to find all the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a gene using the UCSC Genome Browser.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 6:12

The Saved Sessions feature of the Browser has been around for quite some time, but many of our users have not made full use of it. This feature offers a great way to keep track of your thinking on a particular topic.

The Track Collection Builder is a new tool in the UCSC Genome Browser that provides a way to create grouped collections of sub-tracks with native tracks, custom tracks, or hub tracks of continuous value graphing data types.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 2:18

This tutorial demonstrates the visibility controls on the Genome Browser, showing the effect on BED tracks, wiggle tracks, and Conservation tracks. It also discusses supertracks and composite tracks.

Difficulty level: Beginner

This tutorial describes the isPCR tool and demonstrates how to use it for predicting the size and location of PCR products and visualizing the genomic location on the genome. The tool operates on DNA templates for all organisms, and on human and mouse DNA/RNA. It also demonstrates how to use the Browser to obtain DNA sequences from the genome.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 8:01

This tutorial describes the dbSNP resources in the UCSC Genome Browser, including display conventions and the subdivision of the data into several useful subset tracks, especially the Common SNPs. There is also a discussion about changes to the genome assemblies from one version to another, and of two ways to navigate between different assemblies of the human genome in the Browser.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 17:41

This tutorial demonstrates the UCSC Genome Browser Data Integrator, a tool that allows combination and intersection of data from up to five primary tables. In the example, data are extracted showing SNPs, genes, and phenotypes from a genomic region.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 6:24

This tutorial shows how to obtain coordinates of genes, then input those coordinates into the UCSC Genome Browser for display. The regions do not have to be continuous in the genome.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 9:04

This tutorial demonstrates the Multi-Region Exon-Only Display mode of the UCSC Genome Browser.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 5:15

This tutorial demonstrates viewing alternate haplotypes with the UCSC Genome Browser.

Difficulty level: Beginner

The Genome Browser in the Cloud (GBiC) program is a convenient tool that automates the setup of a UCSC Genome Browser mirror​ on a cloud instance or a dedicated physical server.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 4:16

This tutorial gives a demonstration of species/genome assembly selection page (Gateway) on the UCSC Genome Browser.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 3:18

This tutorial demonstrates how to get the coordinates and sequences of exons using the UCSC Genome Browser.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 8:11

This tutorial will demonstrate how to locate amino acid numbers for coding genes using the UCSC Genome Browser.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 8:01

This tutorial will demonstrate how to find the tables in the UCSC database that are associated with the data tracks in the Genome Browser graphical viewer.

Difficulty level: Beginner

This lesson continues with the second workshop on reproducible science, focusing on additional open source tools for researchers and data scientists, such as the R programming language for data science, as well as associated tools like RStudio and R Markdown. Additionally, users are introduced to Python and iPython notebooks, Google Colab, and are given hands-on tutorials on how to create a Binder environment, as well as various containers in Docker and Singularity.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 1:16:04

This lesson contains both a lecture and a tutorial component. The lecture (0:00-20:03 of YouTube video) discusses both the need for intersectional approaches in healthcare as well as the impact of neglecting intersectionality in patient populations. The lecture is followed by a practical tutorial in both Python and R on how to assess intersectional bias in datasets. Links to relevant code and data are found below. 

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 52:26

In this hands-on session, you will learn how to explore and work with DataLad datasets, containers, and structures using Jupyter notebooks. 

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 58:05

In this tutorial, you will learn the basic features of uploading and versioning your data within OpenNeuro.org.
