Join us for the Autumn School in Bioinformatics from October 21-25, 2024! This online course offers an in-depth exploration of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data.

General Topic: Understanding and Working with Next-Generation Sequencing Data

Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course68/

1. Dive into NGS biology, mastering both concepts and data handling.
2. Learn quality assessment, genome assembly, RNAseq, differential gene expression, and phylogenomics.
3. Focus on both Illumina data and long-read data (Oxford Nanopore Technologies/PacBio).

Course Structure:

• Five-day modular format with lectures, discussions, and hands-on sessions.
• Practical exercises to reinforce skills and knowledge.
• Group discussions on results interpretation.

Learning Outcomes:

• Handle NGS data reliably and reproducibly.
• Understand the strengths and pitfalls of NGS.
• Gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art methods in genomics, transcriptomics, and phylogenomics.
• Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different sequencing technologies.

Participants are encouraged to bring their data for analysis and discussion.
