Next-generation sequencing hands-on course : May 11-13
Summary
The Bioinformatics core facility and the Norwegian Microarray Consortium arrange an introductory hands-on course in bioinformatic analysis of next-generation sequencing data.
Description
The participants will be trained in subjects like
- understanding different data formats from various sequencing platforms (Illumina Solexa, Roche 454, Solid)
- mapping reads to the genome using different state-of-the-art tools
- annotation of mapped reads to coding regions.
- statistical analysis of RNA-seq and ChIP-seq data (differentially expressed genes, significantly enriched regions)
- plotting and visualizing results
- basic understanding of Unix necessary to perform the analysis
The course will cover two real test cases using Illumina Solexa RNA-seq and ChIP-seq data, in addition to a thorough introduction to challenges and possibilities in next-generation sequencing.

Prerequisites
Since this is an introductory course, we do not
require any prior knowledge in the subject. However, it is an advantage to be able to install/compile
programs and run simple commands using a terminal. If you don't have
such competence, we suggest that you team up with a colleague that
does.
