Course Objectives
With the introduction of high-throughput sequencing platforms from Illumina, Roche and ABI, it is becoming feasible to consider sequencing approaches to address many research projects. However, knowing how to manage and interpret the large volume of sequence data resulting from such technologies is less clear. The CBW has developed a 2-day course covering the bioinformatics tools available for managing and interpreting high-throughput sequencing data.
Beginning with an understanding of the workflow involved to move from platform images to sequence generation, participants will gain practical experience and skills to be able to:
- Assess sequence quality
- Map sequence data onto a reference genome
- Quantify sequence data
- Integrate biological context with sequence information
Target Audience
This workshop is intended for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, clinical fellows and investigators involved in analyzing data from HT sequencing platforms. Prerequisite: Some basic UNIX skills we be helpful. Some basics can be found here Your own laptop computer. If you do not access to a laptop, you may loan one from the CBW. Please contactcourse_info@bioinformatics.ca for more information.
