Hands-on Training Workshop on NGS Data Analysis
Dated: August 12-13, 2022
Time: 10:00am to 05:00pm
Workshop Design
This workshop has been adapted to the needs of beginners in the field of NGS bioinformatics and comprises these three-course modules:
I. NGS Technologies:
Different methods of NGS will be explained and compared, together with the consequences for data analysis. The most important notations and an overview over various applications will be given.
II. Practical Bioinformatics (with Linux):
This module will introduce the essential tools and file formats required for NGS data analysis. It helps to overcome the first hurdles when entering this (for NGS analyses) unavoidable operating system.
III. Introduction to NGS data analysis:
Important first NGS analyses tasks will be explained and performed. This module covers essential knowledge for analyzing data of different NGS applications.

Requirements
The target audience is biologists or data analysts with no or little experience in analyzing NGS data. A fundamental understanding of molecular biology (DNA, RNA, gene expression, PCR, ...) is assumed.
A basic knowledge of Linux & Bioinformatics (command-line usage, common commands and tools) is not required.
A current laptop with an up-to-date browser (Firefox or Chrome) is required.
