Theme |
Research based on ultra-high-throughput (UHT) sequencing technologies is to a large extent bioinformatics: The aims of the course are: (i) UNDERSTANDING the biological questions adressed with these technologies, the nature of the data (Including noise and artifacts), the current state-of-the-art algorithms to interpret the data, and the computational challenges in the near future. (ii) KNOWING the major application areas of UHT sequencing, (iii) BEING ABLE to learn more from the corresponding scientific litterature. Program UHT sequencing technologies, raw data management, base-calling, de novo and homology-driven assembly of genomes, large-scale genotyping (SNP, CNV), ChiP-seq, transcription start site mapping, gene expression profiling. The topics will be covered by introductory lectures, hands-on practicals, and research seminars by users of UHT sequencing technologies. |
