Your new instrument is installed, your library is ready and now you have started to produce some sequencing data…but what does it all mean? How could you evaluate the quality of your sequencing data? What data format would you need to start your secondary analysis, and can you manipulate it on order to improve your alignment? What exactly happens during secondary analysis and what are all these mysterious metrics generated during this process? What do they tell you about your sample and your lab processes? How can you find in thousands of variants those few that are important? What are the tools you could use to work with your data? If you would like answers to those questions and learn more about sequencing data analysis on an example of germline DNA analysis workflow, this training is for you!
During this training you will learn:
All the sessions are highly interactive, contain demos and hands on activities.
To truly benefit from the content of this training, basic understanding of the sequencing workflow and NGS data analysis is recommended.
