In response to popular demand, our User Education team has been running weekly interactive workshops to help newcomers get started with Terra. They’ve also developed some satellite workshops that use Terra to teach specific applications like whole genome analysis with DRAGEN-GATK.
These online events are open to all and are entirely free: registered participants even receive access to a cloud billing project, so everyone can follow along and do the exercises without having to jump through any administrative hoops!
As you work through the hands-on exercises, you’ll be able to ask questions in real time and interact directly with our experts, developers and trainers.
Whether you’re completely new to the platform, or you’re already using it but looking to get more formal training on how to utilize its features effectively, this is a great opportunity to level up your skills in a friendly, inclusive online environment.

DRAGEN-GATK Webinar
Online workshop hosted by the GATK team. Register today to receive the Zoom invite!
This interactive workshop consists of a 2-hour session on Whole-Genome Analysis with DRAGEN-GATK. You will learn about DRAGEN-GATK — what it is, why it exists, and how to use it. Then, you’ll get an opportunity to use DRAGEN-GATK in a controlled demo environment within Terra.
Date: October 21, 10:30AM – 12:30PM ET
For more information, visit the DRAGEN-GATK Webinar event page.
