The purpose of this intense one-week summer course is to get a deep understanding in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) with a special focus on bioinformatics issues. Advantages and disadvantages of current sequencing technologies and their implications on data analysis will be discovered. You will be trained on understanding NGS data formats and handling potential problems/errors therein. In the summer school, we will use a real-life RNA-seq dataset from the current market leader illumina.
Topics: NGS, Next-Generation Sequencing, Illumina, RNA-Seq
