I’m developing a survey instrument that I can use to assess bioinformatics training needs at UC Davis, with a particular emphasis on practical sequencing data analysis. (Please see my blog post on training for more information and background.)
A few notes –
Below is my list so far. I welcome comments, additions, and critiques! The live site is at http://ngs-training-needs-survey.rtfd.org/.
Please feel free to copy, fork, and modify freely - the source for this is on github at https://github.com/ngs-docs/ngs-training-needs-survey.
What bioinformatics software/programs are you using right now?
What compute resources are you using, if any?
What scripting or programming languages are you using, if any?
What do you feel is your major bioinformatics or sequence analysis-related obstacle, i.e. what is getting in the way of doing your data analysis?
