Next-generation sequencing hands-on data analysis
Summary
The Bioinformatics core facility in Trondheim arranges an introductory hands-on course in bioinformatic analysis of next-generation sequencing data. The focus will be on short micro-RNA sequencing and ChIP-seq reads mapped to the human genome.
Description
The participants will be trained in subjects like
- understanding the Illumina Solexa sequencing platform
- mapping reads to the genome
- annotation of mapped reads to coding regions
- statistical analysis of micro-RNA and ChIP-seq data
- plotting and visualizing results
- basic introduction to Unix necessary to perform the analysis
The course will cover two hands-on test cases using Illumina Solexa micro-RNA sequences 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. Participants are required to bring their own laptops.
