NGS - Quality Control, Alignment, Visualisation (SIB)

22-24 Nov 2023

SIB

Dr Geert van Geest, UNIBE/SIB

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) methods have had a large impact on many biological fields due to a very rapid decrease in cost and throughput. It often results in hundreds of gigabytes of data. This can make the downstream analysis challenging and requires bioinformatics skills. In this module, we will introduce the most used sequencing technologies and explain their concepts. Using different datasets, we will practice quality control, alignment of reads to a reference genome and visualize the output. The course materials can be found in the dedicated GitHub page.
