What will be covered? … This workshop will focus on the design and analysis of two powerful experimental paradigms: RNA-Seq for expression profiling, and ChIP-Seq to assess genomic DNA binding sites. We will use Illumina data for hands-on exercises, and perform analyses using the popular Galaxy platform (http://usegalaxy.org) running on the Amazon Cloud (http://aws.amazon.com/). What… Read more »

The DNA Tech and Gene Expression Analysis Core is offering a three day library preparation workshop from October 22nd to 24th. You can bring your own RNA-sample, generate your first RNA-seq library, and generate your first data during the course. The course will cover the technical details and provide an introduction into the data analysis…. Read more »

October 28 – 29, 2013, our friends at the DNA Technologies Core will be hosting a great workshop for you wetlab enthusiasts out there.  The text from the workshop announcement is below, or you can view the original PDF. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized the way that we address complex biological questions. As sequencing output rapidly… Read more »

Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies allow laboratories to do genome-wide research that was previously only possible at large genome centers. The Galaxy platform is a web-based front-end that can run almost any bioinformatics tool, and is completely open-source and freely available. During the morning session of this bootcamp, we will explore key principles of major sequencing technologies (Illumina,… Read more »

The low cost and high throughput of next generation sequencing provides an unprecedented opportunity to assay variability within the genomes of individuals and populations. Using the Galaxy platform, we will explore the new generation of aligners built specifically for the demands of high throughput sequences, and walk through the GATK Best Practices pipeline for SNP… Read more »

The genome assembly problem changed dramatically with the advent of next generation technologies, and has continued to evolve along with the so-called “third-generation:” PacBio’s single molecule, real-time sequencing. Illumina and PacBio have become the dominant technologies with which to sequence and assemble novel genomes, due to their complementary strengths and weaknesses. In this bootcamp, we… Read more »
