Introduction to genome variation analysis using NGS
Prerequisites

Mon 18 Apr - Tue 19 Apr 2016

Description

This course provides an introduction to the analysis of human genome sequence variation with next generation sequencing data (NGS), including:

  • an introduction to genetic variation as well as data formats and analysis workflows commonly used in NGS data analysis;
  • an overview of available analytical tools and discussion of their limitations; and
  • hands-on experience with common computational workflows for analysing genome sequence variation using bioinformatics and computational genomics approaches.
