As the adoption of relational and deeply curated ‘omics databases increases, creating SQL queries has become a mandatory skill rather than a desirable one. Through this training, we will equip you with the know-how and best practices around designing SQL queries – no prior SQL experience required. And while we will use QIAGEN biomedical databases, the knowledge you acquire can be easily applied to other databases.

Topics will include:

• Some basics of SQL

• A brief introduction to databases being used

• How to generate queries that can help you answer scientific questions (related to disease pathology, MOA, drug response, gene signatures and more)

• Some applications and frequently asked questions

• Resources

Come with your questions, and we’ll address them after the 1-hour training.
