| Description | This course is organized by the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB). This two‑day course provides a practical introduction to detecting genetic variation using next‑generation sequencing (NGS) data. Participants will learn the complete workflow from read alignment to variant calling and annotation, following the GATK best‑practice guidelines with a focus on germline mutation analysis. Designed for PhD students, postdocs, and researchers in the life sciences, the course is intended for participants already familiar with NGS concepts and basic Unix command‑line usage. By the end of the training, attendees will be able to perform high‑quality read alignment, call variants, and annotate them effectively. |
