What is OpenMendel

• Mendel: comprehensive genetic analysis software by Ken Lange, Eric Sobel, Janet Sinsheimer, and generations of students.

• Julia: Walk Like Python; Run Like C.

• Ken's vision: Julia + Mendel = OpenMendel.

How to contribute?

• Browse existing OpenMendel packages: https://github.com/OpenMendel. Don't forget to star them 😄

• Ask questions, file bug reports, and request new features by GitHub Issues.

• Get credit for you code contribution via GitHub Fork and Pull Requests.

• Want project ideas? Talk to any of us or come to OpenMendel meetings (every Wed in winter quarter).

  • BGEN.jl

  • enhancement to variance component models packages

  • and many more

Wifi

Use Eduroam or UCLA_WEB.

• UCLA_WEB does not need password.
• Eduroam needs authentication by your institute. For example, UCLA affiliates can log in Eduroam by [joebruin]@ucla.edu and the UCLA password.

Run Jupyter notebooks on your own laptop

This is not recommended during this workshop, since your software environment (OS, Julia version, package versions, etc.) may be quite different from that assumed by the Jupyter notebooks. In case you want to run Jupyter notebooks on your own machine, simply git clone https://github.com/OpenMendel/LangeSymposium-ProgrammingWorkshop-20202022.git to sync the most recent course materials to your computer and install all needed Julia packages.
