GeneLab for Faculties and Universities (GL4U)
GL4U is designed by NASA GeneLab in collaboration with the GeneLab Academic Working Group (EWG) to supply house biology-relevant coaching in bioinformatics to the following technology of scientists via stay direct and oblique approaches in addition to on-demand studying.
The GeneLab staff plans to host 1-2 annual knowledge processing bootcamps designed for college-level college students (direct) or for school educators (oblique – coaching of trainers), for a particular omics knowledge kind hosted on the Open Science Knowledge Repository (OSDR). In the course of the bootcamps, contributors full the GL4U: Introduction module set and one omics-specific module set. The GL4U: Introduction modules embody lecture-style overviews of NASA, the Science Mission Directorate, Area Biology, Open Science, GeneLab, and quick learn sequencing in addition to hands-on introduction of the command line and fundamental Unix and R instructions utilizing Jupyter Notebooks (JNs). The GL4U: Omics-specific module units increase on the data gained from the GL4U: Introduction module set and embody lectures on the experimental design, knowledge technology, and related expertise utilization for a selected kind of omics knowledge adopted by hands-on processing and evaluation of a space-relevant omics dataset hosted on OSDR utilizing GeneLab’s customary processing pipelines. In the course of the oblique bootcamp, educators will obtain supplies and coaching to allow them to run the direct bootcamp at their dwelling establishments or alternatively to adapt the content material to implement inside present school programs, thereby extending the attain of this initiative to extra college students.
The GL4U: Introduction and Omics-specific module units are additionally accessible as on-demand programs via Canvas. These self-paced programs increase the attain of GL4U even additional by offering versatile studying alternatives for college kids, educators, researchers, and citizen scientists.

Earlier GL4U Bootcamps:
- GL4U: Pilot RNAseq Scholar Bootcamp – In June 2021, GL4U partnered with San Jose State College (SJSU) and Universities Area Analysis Affiliation (USRA) to host the pilot GL4U: RNAseq Scholar bootcamp for SJSU undergraduate college students. The bootcamp coated the GL4U: Introduction and GL4U: RNA Sequencing module units. All content material from the bootcamp together with hyperlinks to video recordings from the bootcamp are publicly accessible on GitHub.
- GL4U: Pilot RNAseq Educator Bootcamp – In June 2022, GL4U partnered with Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s (JPL) Planetary Safety Middle of Excellence to host the pilot GL4U: RNAseq Educator bootcamp for professors and graduate pupil educating assistants from 4 completely different establishments: California State College, Northridge, Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College, New Mexico State College, and California State Polytechnic College, Pomona. The bootcamp coated the GL4U: Introduction and GL4U: RNA Sequencing module units. All content material from the bootcamp together with hyperlinks to video recordings from the bootcamp are publicly accessible on GitHub.
- GL4U: Pilot Amplicon Seq Scholar Bootcamp – In July 2023, GL4U partnered with Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s (JPL) Planetary Safety Middle of Excellence and California State College, Los Angeles to host the primary in-person GL4U: Amplicon Seq bootcamp for CSULA undergraduate and graduate college students. The bootcamp coated the GL4U: Introduction and GL4U: Amplicon Sequencing module units. All content material from the bootcamp is publicly accessible on the GL4U: Amplicon Sequencing Bootcamp 2023 Pilot at CSULA wiki web page.
- GL4U: RNAseq Scholar and Educator Bootcamp – In September/October 2024, GL4U hosted a stay digital RNAseq bootcamp for each college students and educators from California State College, Los Angeles, College of New Mexico, Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College, and the College of California Santa Cruz. The bootcamp coated the GL4U: Introduction and GL4U: RNA Sequencing module units. All content material from the bootcamp is publicly accessible on the GL4U: RNAseq Digital Bootcamp 2024 wiki web page.
