DESCRIPTION:*This course will be streamed only for the registered participa
 nts. Registered participants will receive specific information directly fr
 om the respective course’s organizers.* \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n# Overview\nIn
  many domains of life sciences\, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) methods 
 have become an indispensable part of research and clinical practice. Due t
 o its massive throughput and versatile applications\, like genomics\, tran
 scriptomics\, epigenomics and metagenomics\, it supports knowledge generat
 ion in a broad range of applications. However\, sequencing experiments res
 ult in (very) large datasets\, with specific file formats\, which can make
  the downstream analysis challenging. \n\nIn this course\, you will learn 
 about the background of most used sequencing technologies and about the co
 ncepts of quality control and read alignment. You will put this knowledge 
 into practice by performing hands-on exercises in which you will learn how
  to perform such analysis with the command line. To make interpretation of
  the analysis results easier\, you will learn how visualize the output usi
 ng a genome browser. After performing all analysis steps in a guided manne
 r\, you will work on a mini project to learn how to apply the learnt skill
 s more independently.  \n\nIf you have some experience with the command li
 ne\, and are ready to get started with NGS analysis\, this course is for y
 ou.  \n\n \nAre you getting curious? All course materials can be found on 
 the dedicated [GitHub](https://sib-swiss.github.io/NGS-introduction-trai
 ning/latest/) page.\n\n# Audience\nThis course is intended for life scient
 ists who are already dealing with NGS data and would like to be able to st
 art analysing them. \n\n# Learning Objectives\nAt the end of the course pa
 rticipants should be able to:\n* understand the basics of the different NG
 S technologies\n* perform quality control for better downstream analysis \
 n* align reads to a reference genome \n* visualize the output\n\n# Prerequ
 isites\n##### *Knowledge / competencies:*\nParticipants should have a basi
 c understanding of working with the command line on UNIX-based systems lik
 e Linux or Mac. If you do not feel comfortable with UNIX commands\, please
  take our [UNIX fundamentals](https://edu.sib.swiss/course/view.php?name=U
 NIX_I) e-learning module or attend one of the "[First Steps with UNIX in L
 ife Sciences](https://www.sib.swiss/training/course/20230110_FSWU)".\n####
 # *Technical:*\nParticipants should bring their own computers. Software re
 quirements will be communicated before the course.\n\n# Application\n\n\nR
 egistration fees for academics are **300 CHF** and **1500 CHF** for for-pr
 ofit companies. While participants are registered on a first come\, first 
 served basis\, exceptions may be made to ensure diversity and equity\, whi
 ch may increase the time before your registration is confirmed.\n\nApplica
 tions will close as soon as the places will be filled up. Deadline for fre
 e-of-charge cancellation is set to **06/11/2024**. Cancellation after this
  date will not be reimbursed. \n\nYou will be informed by email of your re
 gistration confirmation. Upon reception of the confirmation email\, partic
 ipants will be asked to confirm attendance by paying the fees within 5 day
 s.\n\n# Location &amp\; Time\nThis course will be streamed.\n\nThis course
  will start at 9:00 and end around 17:00.\nPrecise information will be pro
 vided to the participants on due time.\n\n\n# Additional information\n\nCo
 ordination: Valeria Di Cola\, SIB Training group.\n\nWe will recommend 0.7
 5 ECTS credits for this course (given a passed exam at the end of the cour
 se).\n\nYou are welcome to register to the SIB courses mailing list to be 
 informed of all future courses and workshops\, as well as all important de
 adlines using the form [here](https://lists.sib.swiss/postorius/lists/cour
 ses.lists.sib.swiss/).\n\nPlease note that participation in SIB courses is
