DESCRIPTION:This course covers the potential pitfalls of short-read sequenc
 ing studies and provides options for visualisation and quality control (QC
 ) for early detection and diagnosis of issues. You will gain an understand
 ing of Illumina sequencing and different QC metrics that can be extracted 
 from sequencing reads\, such as base quality scores. The course also cover
 s how QC metrics vary across different library types and thus distinguish 
 between expected and unexpected QC results. You will be introduced to key 
 software tools including FastQC\, FastQ Screen\, and MultiQC to carry out 
 quality assessment of your sequencing data.\n\nNote that the main focus of
  this course is on how to interpret quality reports produced by these tool
 s\, not on how to run them (although we do provide the basic commands you 
 need to do it).\n\n\nIf you do not have a University of Cambridge [Raven a
