> This 2-day workshop provides a comprehensive look at platforms, tools, and services for 
> large-scale data analysis provided by the/iPlant Collaborative/, a cyberinfrastructure project of 
> the National Science Foundation. Workshop topics build progressively to cater to the needs of 
> general and advanced audiences. Through several hands-on demos and guided exercises, workshop 
> participants will get a comprehensive look at/iPlant/'s tools and services for large-scale data 
> analysis. Use cases will draw on topics in RNA-Seq, genome annotation, and more.
>
> Participants will get hands-on experience with the following/iPlant/cyberinfrastructure:
>
>
>       /Discovery Environment/
>
> Simple web portal for managing data, analyses, and workflows. Complex bioinformatics applications 
> can be run without knowing command line programming; users can also integrate their own tools.
>
>
>       /Data Store/
>
> Scalable, secure, and reliable storage for terabyte-scale data.
>
>
>       /Atmosphere/
>
> One-click, on-demand cloud computing.
>
>
>     *What Data Can I Bring?*
>
> *Animals, Plants, and Microbes*all have communities within/iPlan/t./iPlant/also supports tools for 
> phenotypes (images, geospatial, and other trait data), so bring your data to the workshop and we 
> will show you what is possible.
>
>
>     *Who Should Attend?*
>
> Any investigator (PIs, post-docs, grad students, industry users) who is or will be working with 
> large datasets and computation-intensive research questions in the life sciences (plants and 
> animals!).
>
>
>     *What Will We Do at the Workshop?*
>
> We will cover a variety of hands-on computer demos designed to familiarize you will the major 
> tools and resources available to you.*Day one*starts with an introduction to/iPlant/’s tools to 
> manage, analyse, and share data – then these resources are applied to structured use cases such as 
> analysing differential gene expression in an RNA-Seq dataset, association studies, image data, and 
> more.*Day two*covers some more advanced research use cases and can be customized according to 
> participant interests. We will also help you get started using/iPlant/with your own data. All 
> tools are freely accessible with an/iPlant/account.
