Visit the BioDIGS (BioDiversity and Informatics for Genomics Scholars) website [here](https://biodigs.org/) for more information about this collaborative, distributed research project, including how you can get involved!\n\nThe GDSCN (Genomics Data Science Community Network) is a consortium of educators who aim to create a world where researchers, educators, and students from diverse backgrounds are able to fully participate in genomic data science research. You can find more information about its mission and initiatives [here](https://www.gdscn.org/home).\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fhdsl/GDSCN_BioDIGS_Book/main/assets/GDSCN_style/logo_BioDIGS_final.png\"/\u003e\n\n\n## Target Audience\n\nThe activities in this guide are written for undergraduate students and beginning graduate students. Some sections require basic understanding of the R programming language, which is indicated at the beginning of the chapter.\n\n## Platform\n\nThe activities in this guide are demonstrated on NHGRI's [AnVIL](https://anvilproject.org/) cloud computing platform. AnVIL is the preferred computing platform for the GDSCN. However, all of these activities can be done using your personal installation of R or using the online [Galaxy](usegalaxy.org) portal.\n\n## Data\n\nThe data generated by the BioDIGS project is available as an R package (BioDIGSData, https://github.com/fhdsl/BioDIGSData), through the [BioDIGS website](biodigs.org), or through an [AnVIL workspace](https://anvilproject.org).\n\nData about the soil itself as well as soil metal content was generated by the [Delaware Soil Testing Program](https://www.udel.edu/canr/cooperative-extension/environmental-stewardship/soil-testing/) at the University of Delaware. Sequences were generated by the [Johns Hopkins University Genetic Resources Core Facility](https://grcf.jhmi.edu/) and by [PacBio](https://www.pacb.com/).\n\n## Encountering problems?\n\nIf you are encountering any problems with this course, please file a GitHub issue or contact Ava Hoffman (ahoffma2 at fredhutch.org) or Elizabeth Humphries (ehumphri at fredhutch.org).\n\n\u003ca rel=\"license\" href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Creative Commons License\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/88x31.png\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAll materials in this course are licensed under a \u003ca rel=\"license\" href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/\"\u003eCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License\u003c/a\u003e unless noted otherwise.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffhdsl%2Fgdscn_biodigs_book","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffhdsl%2Fgdscn_biodigs_book","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffhdsl%2Fgdscn_biodigs_book/lists"}
