How to analyze data from Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
OBJECTIVES:
This course teaches biologists how to analyze data from Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms. Topics to be covered include the description of sequencing strategies and platforms, experiment types, data formats, and command line tools for various workflows, such as quantification of transcripts, alternative splice forms, copy number variants, single nucleotide polymorphisms, etc.
INSTRUCTOR:
Shailender Nagpal, M.Sc. is a data analysis consultant in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries and specializes in the interpretation of data generated from various platforms in drug discovery, such as genomics and proteomics.

SYLLABUS:
The course is divided into 4 sessions, with WebEx meetings scheduled for 16:00 to 17:00 GMT (12:00 PM to 1:00 PM US EDT), Monday through Thursday (Friday will be a reserve day). Homework assignments will involve running computationally intensive tools. Recorded lectures on Linux will also be provided.
Session 1:
Fundamentals of NGS technologies - strategies, platforms and types of experiments that can be done (whole genome, transcriptome, targeted, ChIP-Seq, etc.)
Session 2:
Data formats and overview of algorithms, workflows and command line tools
Session 3:
Whole genome sequencing workflow used for CNV and SNP discovery
Session 4:
Transcriptomics workflow for quantifying abundance of transcripts and alternative splicing junctions
