 ### My institution has its own compute cluster, or our research group uses a different cloud computing resource. Can we deliver the workshop using that system?
 
 This course is based on a genomics workshop developed by [The Carpentries]("https://datacarpentry.org/genomics-workshop/"). To ensure a consistent workshop experience for learners and Instructors, all workshops organized by The Carpentries (“centrally-organized workshops”) use a stable, community-tested curriculum and technical set-up. We have adapted this curriculum and setup to suit our and our users' needs. Currently, this means all our Genomics workshops are taught using Amazon Web Services, although we may be interested in supporting other systems in the future.

-### What background and technological skills do I need to have to teach this workshop?
-
-You will need experience using a bash shell (the default shell on Mac OS and most Linux systems), including writing your own small bash scripts and running programs written by others from the command line. You do not need to have specifically used the command-line programs that are used in these lessons. You do not need to have prior experience working with Amazon Web Services (AWS), but some experience logging on to remote computers would be useful. You should have experience working with genomic sequences in FASTQ format. 
-
-### How can I prepare to teach this material? 
-
-Each lesson has a set of Instructor Notes that provide information about the design of the lesson, commonly encountered problems, and technical tips and tricks. You can access Instructor Notes in the “Extras” menu on each individual lesson page. Instructor Notes are written collaboratively by our Instructors, so please contribute your own notes after your workshop!
-
-### What are common problems that arise during this workshop?
-
-The best place to get information about common problems that arise during workshops is in the Instructor Notes for each lesson. You can access Instructor Notes through the Extras menu in the top navigation bar that appears across the head of each lesson. Instructors are strongly encouraged to contribute back to the Instructor Notes based on their workshop experience. To contribute to the Instructor Notes, click the “Improve this page” menu option in the upper right corner of the Instructor Notes page.

-### Does the AWS image location matter? Do I need to set up an AMI in a different region if my workshop will be held outside of the Eastern US?
-
-We have run this workshop in locations across the United States and Europe with no noticeable difference in instance speed. If you experience any issues, please [let us know]([email protected]).
