Course content
Briefly, the workshop covers the followings major topics:
- Working on the UNIX/LINUX command line
- Bioinformatic/NGS data formats and QC
- DNA variant calling workflow essentials
- RNA sequence analysis workflow essentials
Lectures on the theory of concepts will be paired with practical computational exercises in the Linux environment. The practical exercises will focus on data from the Illumina platform, but we will discuss other sequencing platforms and the advantages and challenges to using their data during the lectures.
Please note that NBIS training events do not provide any formal university credits. Attendees with full attendance and completion of tasks will be issued a certificate of participation indicating topics covered and duration of the workshop.
