This intense one-week workshop provides an introduction to the analysis of next generation sequencing data. 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.

Spatial omics has emerged as a new frontier of biological and biomedical research. In particular, spatial transcriptomics has enabled genome-scale gene expression mapping with spatial resolution in tissue sections. So far, the ability to capture spatial epigenetic information at the cellular level and genome scale has been lacking. This talk will describe recent advances in […]
In recent years, long-read DNA sequencing has replaced short-read technologies as the gold standard solution for a wide range of genomics applications. In addition to producing high quality de novo genome assembly, long-read technologies can be used to study complex structural variation, full-length RNA isoforms, detection of epigenetic signals, and much more. The adaptation of long-read sequencing is sweeping […]
