(2026) High-Throughput Genomics: Vancouver, BC
Date: 4 - 6 November 2026
With the introduction of high-throughput sequencing platforms, it is becoming feasible to consider sequencing approaches to address many research projects. However, knowing how to manage and interpret the large volume of sequence data resulting from such technologies is less clear. The CBW has developed a popular 3-day course covering the bioinformatics tools available for managing and interpreting high-throughput sequencing data, including both short- and long-read approaches.
Keywords: BioInformatics, Cancer, Genomics
City: Vancouver
Region: British Columbia
Country: Canada
Prerequisites:
UNIX familiarity is required. You will also require your own laptop computer. Minimum requirements: 1024×768 screen resolution, 1.5GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, 10GB free disk space, recent versions of Windows, Mac OS X or Linux (Most computers purchased in the past 3-4 years likely meet these requirements). If you do not have access to your own computer, you may loan one from the CBW. Please contact [email protected] for more information. This workshop requires participants to complete pre-workshop tasks and readings.
Learning objectives:
Beginning with an understanding of major sequencing technologies, participants will gain practical experience and skills to be able to: Assess sequence quality Map sequence data onto a reference genome Identify variants, including single-nucleotide variants, indels, and structural variants Perform de novo genome assembly and evaluate the quality and completeness of it. Integrate biological context with sequence information
Capacity: 28
