Next-gen sequencing: data acquisition, comparative genomics, design and analysis for population genetics, systematics and development


Date11-Jun-2012 ~ 19-Jun-2012
ProjectNext-gen sequencing: data acquisition, comparative genomics, design and analysis for population genetics, systematics and development
SummaryThis course will provide computational training required for those working with Next-generation sequencing data and is aimed in particular at senior graduate students, research fellows and faculty that are producing genomic data. The course aims to lower the learning curve and increase familiarity of wet-lab scientists with informatic techniques. We will cover manipulation of next-gen sequencing data, analysis of metagenomic data, phylogeny reconstruction from NGS and RNA quantification with and without a reference genome. We will use tools such as Amazon EC2, Galaxy, Geneious, SAMtools, QIIME, Trinity RNA-Seq, edgeR, TopHat, LOX and PhyDesign.
