Introduction to the analysis of NGS data, online

Target Audience:
All VIB staff
Location:

This is an online course

General context

This course combines elearning with online sessions on youtube.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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

Since part of the course is done via elearning you have to take into account that you will have to spend time to this course outside of class.

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 platform

Required skills

None
