Analysis of NGS data requires skills with a large number of computational tools and software packages as well as an understanding of the biology behind the analyses.
We will introduce the necessary skills and work through the use of a specific set of tools each addressing different needs that contribute to a full analysis pipeline.
Participants should expect to leave with a better understanding of the skills and tools required as well as practical experience using the software and reviewing the results.
This will be a starting point upon which participants can further develop these skills working with their own data.
In a nutshell
Learn the essential computing skills for NGS bioinformatics
Understand NGS technology, algorithms and data formats
Use bioinformatics tools for handling sequencing data
Perform first downstream analyses for studying genetic variation and differential expression
