The primary aim of this course was to provide a basic understanding of the Leishmania genome, NGS technology and analysis tools, and to develop a basic pipeline for the students to start working on their data. This first pipeline will help to standardize all analysis done in the consortium and should facilitate a posterior paper publication. This pipeline will evolve
in the context of a collaboration between the Leishield partners and the C3BI, taking into account the difficulties to analyze and interpret the sequence data generated, and the specific needs of each Consortium node. A future Workshop will be organized in June 2016 to tackle all these questions, and to have a follow-up on the analysis.
