Introduction to the Labkey data management tool (20H09003)

Aims

At the end of the course, participants will be able to work more efficiently with their data, in terms of having an organized project space where 1) the data can be imported, analyzed and visualized and 2) the data and workflows can be followed, shared and discussed upon with the collaborators.

Content

LabKey is a data management platform in which researchers can collaboratively manage and analyze their data. LabKey Server is ideal for groups looking to transition to a more robust solution when working in Excel becomes unmanageable. Compared to other commercial software that are primarily oriented towards data analysis, LabKey Server allows you to manage and collaborate with your data directly through the software: you can easily import your data and keep it organized, you can manage and share your workflows, you can create comprehensive graphs and reports of your data and share them with your collaborators, all within a secure and supported environment, which you and your collaborators can access at all times and from anywhere via VPN. Its API enables scripted data access from languages such as R and Python.

Target Group

This course is addressed to PhD students, postdocs, and group leaders without (or very little) experience with the data-management software LabKey.

Requirements

This course is designed for LabKey beginners and there is no programming knowledge required. Participants should have practical knowledge about working with data and data-sets i.e. in other analysis applications such as Excel (Ms Office). We will provide the test data, however, participants can bring their own (non-sensitive) data-sets for testing during the course.
