DESCRIPTION:**This course will NOT take place online\, only in person in Be
 rn. Thank you for your understanding.**\n\n\nThis course is coordinated wi
 th the doctoral program [Staromics](https://biologie.cuso.ch/staromics/wel
 come) of CUSO\, whose members have the priority.\n# Overview\nFor the last
  few years\, research in DNA and RNA has been dominated by short-read sequ
 encing. Although this has revolutionized the way we answer biological ques
 tions\, it has its limitations. One important limitation is read length. T
 he invention of high-throughput long-read sequencing has enabled us to sol
 ve questions on genome assembly\, haplotyping\, structural variation and a
 lternative splicing. In this course\, the participant will get acquainted 
 with the major long-read sequencing technologies (PacBio SMRT and Oxford N
 anopore Technology)\, and get experience with hands-on work involving long
 -read data. \nThe training materials for this course are in its dedicated 
 [GitHub](https://sib-swiss.github.io/NGS-longreads-training/) page.\nThe c
 ourse includes a Guest Lecture from [Dr. Alban Ramette](https://www.ifik.u
 nibe.ch/forschung/bioinformatics__biostatistics___alban_ramette/index_ger.
 html).  \n\n# Audience\nThis course is addressed to people that are workin
 g with or will be working with long-read data.\n\n# Learning outcomes\nAt 
 the end of the course\, the participants are expected to:\n* Understand th
 e basics behind PacBio SMRT sequencing and Oxford Nanopore Technology sequ
 encing\n* Use the command line to perform quality control and read alignme
 nt of long-read sequencing data\n* Be able to do differential isoform expr
 ession analysis or a repeat expansion analysis based on long-read sequenci
 ng data\n\n\n# Prerequisites\n##### Knowledge / competencies\nThis course 
 is designed for anyone interested to work with long-read data and there is
  a requirement for basic UNIX knowledge. \n\n##### Technical\nYou are requ
 ired to bring your own laptop. Software installation instructions will be 
 communicated before the course.\n\n# Schedule - CET time zone\n\n[Course s
 chedule](https://sib-swiss.github.io/NGS-longreads-training/2022.3/course_
 schedule/)\n\n\n\n\n# Application\nThe registration fees for academics are
  **120 CHF** and **600 CHF** for for-profit companies.\n\nYou will be info
 rmed by email of your registration confirmation. Upon reception of the con
 firmation email\, participants will be asked to confirm attendance by payi
 ng the fees within 5 days.\n\nDeadline for free-of-charge cancellation is 
 set to *28/02/2023*. Cancellation after this date will not be reimbursed. 
 Please note that participation in SIB courses is subject to our [general c
 onditions](https://www.sib.swiss/training/terms-and-conditions).\n\n# Venu
 e and Time\nThis course will take place at the University of Bern. \nIt wi
 ll start at 9:00 CET and end around 17:00 CET. Precise information will be
  provided to the participants before the course.\n\n\n#  Additional inform
 ation\nCoordination: Gregoire Rossier\, SIB Training Group\n\nWe will reco
 mmend 0.5 ECTS credits for this course (given a passed exam at the end of 
 the course).\n\nYou are welcome to register to the SIB courses mailing lis
 t to be informed of all future courses and workshops\, as well as all impo
 rtant deadlines using the form [here](https://lists.sib.swiss/mailman/list

 red to abide by the same code.\n\nFor more information\, please contact [t
