The aim of this course is to provide students with theory and practical
tools to analyze Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data. The course is
composed of a theory and practice lessons . In the first week theory
sessions will cover the main kind of HTS analyses (re-sequencing and
variant analysis, de-novo sequencing, transcriptomics, ChIP-Seq,
metagenomics), in addition to some general bioinformatics tools and
Biostatistics. The second week is dedicated to practice, in which the
students work with their own data in small groups with a mentor that
guides them. The practice week is designed so the course is of immediate
use to each student. We expect the students to go back to their countries
with the necessary knowledge to continue working on their own data.
