DESCRIPTION:Analysis of whole genome data unearths a multitude of variants 
 of different classes\, which need to be filtered\, annotated and validated
  to arrive at a causative variant for a disease. The current short length 
 sequences\, whilst being excellent at identifying single nucleotide varian
 ts and short insertions/deletions\, struggle to correctly map structural v
 ariants (SVs). Long-read sequencing technologies offer improvements in the
  characterisation of genetic variation and regions that are difficult to a
 ssess with short-read sequences.\n\nThe aim of this course is to familiari
 se participants with long read sequencing technologies\, their application
 s and the bioinformatics tools used to assemble this kind of data. Lecture
 s will introduce this technology and provide insight into methods for the 
 analysis of genomic data\, while the hands-on sessions will allow particip
 ants to run analysis pipelines\, focusing on data generated by the Oxford 
 Nanopore Technologies (ONT) platform. \n\nThe training room is located on 
 the first floor and there is currently no wheelchair or level access avail
 able to this level.\n\nPlease note that if you are not eligible for a Univ
