Have you seen our online workshop: "Introduction to JupyterHub"?

The YouTube videos are publicly available and linked below.

The JupyterHub workshop hosted by the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Crop Improvement introduces beginners to the use of a cloud-based interactive coding and documentation environment for data analysis projects. This page is a static hub that provides documentation from that workshop as a resour...

Have you tried out rTASSEL yet? Brandon's article on it is up on bioRxiv.

The need for efficient tools and applications for analyzing genomic diversity is essential for any genetics research program. One such tool, TASSEL (Trait Analysis by aSSociation, Evolution and Linkage), provides many core methods for genomic analyses. Despite its efficiency, TASSEL has limited mean...
