DESCRIPTION:This online course provides a structured\, practical introducti
 on to Next-Generation Sequencing data analysis. We discuss the advantages 
 and limitations of current sequencing technologies and explain how they af
 fect data quality\, analysis decisions and interpretation.\n\nYou will wor
 k with a real-life Illumina dataset and move from raw-read quality control
  through preprocessing and read mapping to alignment inspection and DNA va
 riant calling. The focus is not only on running tools\, but also on unders
 tanding their output and recognising results that require closer examinati
 on.\n\nThe course is designed for beginners in NGS bioinformatics. It is s
 uitable for scientists with little or no computer science background who w
 ant to gain practical experience and become more confident when working wi
 th sequencing data.\n\nAll exercises are performed through a browser-based
  Linux terminal connected to a high-performance cloud computer. No local i
 nstallation is required. The five-half-day format provides time between se
 ssions to consolidate the material while retaining the interaction of a li
 ve course.\n\nThe schedule is designed to make live participation possible
  from both Europe and the Americas. During the course week\, each session 
 runs from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm in Berlin\, corresponding to 7:00 am to 12:00
  noon on the US East Coast.
