Introduction to NGS and Bioinformatics Analysis

This workshop runs over two half days from 1:00pm to 5:00pm (AEST), Wednesday 15 July and Thursday 16 July.

This workshop introduces next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and the fundamental bioinformatics analysis involved in modern sequencing analysis. Practical exercises focus on a typical bioinformatics workflow for NGS data, including hands-on exercises in quality control and read mapping. Participants will develop an understanding of standard file formats, quality score encoding and common bioinformatics tools. Prior experience using Galaxy or completion of the 'Introduction to Galaxy' workshop is recommended.
