DESCRIPTION:**The course is now full with a waiting list. Applications are 
 closed. Check out our training list for new sessions. Thank you for your u
 nderstanding.\n**\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n# Overview\nNext Generation Sequencing 
 (NGS) methods have had a large impact on many biological fields due to a v
 ery rapid decrease in cost and throughput. It often results in hundreds of
  gigabytes of data. This can make the downstream analysis challenging and 
 requires bioinformatics skills.\n\nIn this module\, we will introduce the 
 most used sequencing technologies and explain their concepts. Using differ
 ent datasets\, we will practice quality control\, alignment of reads to a 
 reference genome and visualize the output.\n\nThe course materials can be 
 found in the dedicated [GitHub](https://sib-swiss.github.io/NGS-introducti
 on-training/latest/) page.\n\n# Audience\nThis course is intended for life
  scientists who are already dealing with NGS data and would like to be abl
 e to start analysing them.\n\n# Learning Objectives\nAt the end of the cou
 rse participants should be able to:\n* understand the basics of the differ
 ent NGS technologies\n* perform quality control for better downstream anal
 ysis \n* align reads to a reference genome \n* visualize the output.\n\n# 
 Prerequisites\n##### Knowledge / competencies:\nParticipants should have a
  basic understanding of working with the command line on UNIX-based system
 s like Linux or Mac. If you do not feel comfortable with UNIX commands\, p
 lease take our [UNIX fundamentals](https://edu.sib.swiss/course/view.php?n
 ame=UNIX_I) e-learning module or attend one of the "[First Steps with UNIX
  in Life Sciences](https://www.sib.swiss/training/course/20220111_FSWU)" t
 hat we propose in 2022.\n##### Technical:\nParticipants should bring their
  own computers. Software requirements will be communicated before the cour
 se.\n\n# Application\nThis course is now full with a waiting list.\n\nThe 
 registration fees for academics are **180 CHF** and **900 CHF** for for-pr
 ofit companies.\n\nYou will be informed by email of your registration conf
 irmation. Upon reception of the confirmation email\, participants will be 
 asked to confirm attendance by paying the fees within 5 days.\n\nDeadline 
 for registration and free-of-charge cancellation is set to *07/11/2022*. C
 ancellation after this date will not be reimbursed.\n\nPlease note that pa
 rticipation to SIB courses is subject to this and other general conditions
 \, available [here](https://www.sib.swiss/training/terms-and-conditions).\
 n\nYou will be informed by email of your registration confirmation.\n# Loc
 ation &amp\; Time\nThis course will be streamed using Zoom.\nThis course w
 ill start at 9:00 and end around 17:00. Precise information will be provid
 ed to the participants on due time.\n\n\n# Additional information\n\nThe c
 ourse will be taught by Geert van Geest.\n\n\nCoordination: Valeria Di Col
 a\, SIB Training group.\n\nWe will recommend 0.75 ECTS credits for this co
 urse (given a passed exam at the end of the course).\n\nYou are welcome to
  register to the SIB courses mailing list to be informed of all future cou
 rses and workshops\, as well as all important deadlines using the form [he
 re](https://lists.sib.swiss/mailman/listinfo/courses).\n\nPlease note that
  participation in SIB courses is subject to our [general conditions](https
 ://www.sib.swiss/training/terms-and-conditions).\n\nSIB abides by the [ELI
 XIR Code of Conduct](https://elixir-europe.org/events/code-of-conduct). Pa
 rticipants of SIB courses are also required to abide by the same code.\n\n
