SCGC Bioinformatics Informational Survey

The Single Cell Genomics Center (SCGC) at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences will host a week-long bioinformatics course in October 2020. The purpose will be to enable existing and potential users of microbial single cell genomics data to work with their data more efficiently and effectively. Please help us determine potential topics to cover by answering the following questions. Thank you!

This survey will close on 11/19.
