Hello EVOLDIR members Last chance - Make genome-scale computation faster, more reliable, and easier to reproduce. High-Performance Programming for Biology is a 2-day seminar livestreaming August 3 and 14 with Giulio Formenti (Vertebrate Genome Lab, The Rockefeller University). Write efficient C and C++ programs for genomic workloads by selecting suitable data structures, managing memory safely, and profiling performance bottlenecks. Apply multithreading, binary I/O, compression, indexing, and hashing to sequence data, genomes, reads, and k-mer analyses. Build reproducible, reliable software that supports scalable evolutionary and genetic research workflows. Sign up today (https://instats.org/seminar/high-performance-programming-for-biology) to secure your spot, and please share this opportunity with colleagues and students who might benefit!
