Bioinformatics BootCamp: Analyzing NGS Data (6.27.19)

This is part of our "Bioinformatics BootCamp for Postdocs" series.

Workshop Description: "Analyzing NGS Data: Standard data processing and workflow analysis on high powered computing environment"
The NGS technologies have the potential to dramatically accelerate biomedical research by enabling comprehensive analysis of genomes and transcriptomes to become inexpensive, routine, and widespread tools. This workshop will focus on methods for base‐calling and variant‐calling, for aligning reads to reference sequences (e.g. genomes), and for de novo assembly of short reads into longer sequences. The following tools will be covered on Orchestra, a shared research cluster; quality reports of FASTQ files, trimming and filtering of reads, alignment and coverage objects such as SAM/BAM files using bowtie/bwa, calling SNPs with Samtools, and De novo Assembly using Velvet.

The c3 Bioinformatics team, in conjunction with the HMS/HSDM Office for Postdoctoral Fellows, is offering 2019 Summer Bioinformatics Bootcamp. The hands-on workshops will be held June through August, 2019.
Workshop dates and registration will begin opening up in May, three workshops will be listed at any one time.
Bootcamp completion certificate is awarded for those who attend at least 70% of the workshops.
These workshops are restricted to HMS/HSDM Quad-based postdocs. If you are unsure about your status please contact the office.
