Analysis of DNA Methylation using Sequencing Beginners
This course will cover all aspects of the analysis of DNA methylation using sequencing, including primary analysis, mapping and quality control of BS-Seq data, common pitfalls and complications.
It will also include exploratory analysis of methylation, looking at different methods of quantitation, and a variety of ways of looking more widely at the distribution of methylation over the genome. Finally the course will look at statistical methods to predict differential methylation.
The course will be comprised of a mixture of theoretical lectures and practicals covering a range of different software packages.
