Do you want to enter the field of Bioinformatics, but don't know enough about sequencing technology but you want to work in this field?

Are you curious about the recent advances in DNA/RNA sequencing technology, and how they can be applied to Modern Day Genome-wide research of plants?

Do you want to use Bioinformatics tools to analyze data generated by Next Generation Sequencing?

By the end of this course:

• You will have a strong foundation in Next-generation sequencing

• You will have a thorough understanding of Next Generation DNA Sequencing Analysis

• You will use a cloud-based platform called Galaxy for the analysis of large datasets

• You will assess the quality of raw data

• You will use FastQC and Trimmomatic to improve data quality

• You will be using Genomic tools called bowtie2 for the analysis of NGS

• Gene expression profiles will be got on at the end of the analysis

This course is a starting point in NGS. It covers NGS prerequisites and quality control. Future courses will cover data analysis in more detail.

Project:

This course includes a step-by-step guided project.

This project will assess the quality of raw data from an Illumina sequencer.

You will then use FastQC and Trimmomatic to improve the quality of this data.

Prerequisites:

• No prior experience is required

This is an introductory course ideal for those with no prior experience in Next Generation Sequencing Analysis.
