Introduction to the analysis of NGS data, autumn session

Target Audience:
VIB PhD student
VIB postdoc
VIB staff scientist
VIB group leader or expert
VIB technical support
Location:

online

General context

This course consists of online videos, live sessions on youtube and 2 online exercise sessions. 
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This training is an introduction to 'Bulk RNA-Seq analysis for differential expression', Hands-on introduction to NGS variant analysis', and 'Hands on introduction to ChIP-Seq analysis'. If you want to follow one of these trainings and you have no experience with NGS data you should follow this introduction first. 

Learning outcomes

This training is an introduction to a series of trainings on the analysis of Next Generation Sequencing data. This training is intended for newbies to the field and will teach them all background knowledge required to successfully complete the advanced NGS analysis trainings. To this end the training will give an overview of:
- The Illumina platform
- NGS data formats and file handling
- Quality control of NGS data
- Mapping of NGS data
- Supporting IT: Galaxy and GenePattern platform
