Tutorials
Education and training in the use of myGrid components is provided in a number of different ways. There are dedicated workshops, online tutorials, and presentations and publications describing the use of myGrid components.
Over fifty tutorials have been given on the use of Taverna, not just by us. For example, the French
Signen@e consortium have trained over 200 people and produced tutorials in French. Over 800 people have been trained by the myGrid team.
Please contact us if you wish to attend a myGrid training workshop. We aim to hold these events once a month. Attendance is free of charge although attendees will need to cover their own travel expenses.
Taverna 2.1 tutorial
A “getting started” Taverna 2.1 tutorial on building simple workflows is available to show some of Taverna 2.1’s new features.
Taverna 1 tutorials
There are several tutorials online for Taverna 1.7. including a general tutorial and one specifically for bioinformaticians.
A tutorial in Japanese on Taverna 1.5 has been produced by the National Institute of Genetics, Japan. The tutorial is available in PDF. The tutorial shows how to construct and run workflows, using the DNA Databank of Japan services as examples. Although designed for Taverna 1.5 the tutorial is still relevant to later versions of Taverna 1.
Taverna 2 tutorials
A video tutorial for Taverna 2.0 is available in several formats from the documentation page.
A tutorial on how to use Taverna 2 with the emphasis on BioMoby services has been produced by Eddie Kawas.
