ELIXIR-IIB, in collaboration with the National Research Council Italy, is pleased to announce the upcoming Workshop on Docker and Reproducibility, a satellite event held jointly with the BITS Annual Meeting 2018.

IMPORTANT DATES:
Deadline for applications: 30 May 2018 - Course date: 25-26 June 2018

VENUE:
University of Turin, Molecular Biotechnology Center, Via Nizza, 52 - 10126 Torino (Italy)

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Docker is a container framework for Linux that allows a developer to make easier the creation, deployment, and execution of applications by using containers. Recently it is becoming a promising approach to computational biology research reproducibility by:

• Saving time and expenses on human and computational resources allocated to already performed analysis;
• Boosting communication between computational biologists working on similar topics;
• Enhancing transparency within the community;
• Granting open access computational knowledge to the community.

During the workshop the participants will learn the core concepts of docker and how to easily embed bioinformatic pipelines/workflows into a docker container.
