Dear all,
We are excited to announce the last few remaining seats for our upcoming Winter School in Bioinformatics, focusing on "Understanding and Working with Next Generation Sequencing Data." This online course is scheduled from February 26 to March 1, 2024.
Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course68/
This course aims to introduce participants to the field of Next Generation Sequencing biology, covering concepts and practical aspects of data handling. Topics include quality assessment of sequencing runs, assembling and annotating small genomes, RNAseq, differential gene expression, and phylogenomics with NGS data, using both short and long-reads data. Starting with a dedicated day on basic and advanced Linux concepts for data processing on Amazon Cloud (AWS), the course progressively introduces analysis steps in genomics, transcriptomics, and phylogenetic/phylogenomic domains.
By the end of the course, participants will:
Effectively handle NGS data in a reliable and reproducible manner
Understand the strengths and pitfalls of NGS, assessing data quality
Gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art methods across genomics, transcriptomics, and phylogenomics
Assess strengths and weaknesses of different DNA sequencing technologies (short and long reads)
Develop familiarity with biological sequence analysis in an evolutionary context
