Next Generation Sequencing

Course overview:

The programme will include theoretical and practical information on NGS systems currently available and those on the near horizon. Technologies will be chosen from short- and long-read sequencing platforms including:

1. 1. PacBio
2. 2. Illumina Miseq/HiSeq/Novaseq
3. 3. Oxford Nanopore MinION

Intended audience:

Applicants should be postdoctoral scientists, senior PhD students, or junior faculty members actively engaged in or soon to commence research involving next generation sequencing instrumentation.

Prerequisites:

Please note: For the data analysis components of the course, applicants will require a working knowledge of the UNIX/Linux operating system. This may be obtained through various methods and is essential to fully benefit from the course. There are numerous online introductory tutorials to the UNIX/Linux operating system and command line
