Dear all, Join us for the Online Autumn School in Bioinformatics from October 21-25! This online course offers an in-depth exploration of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data. Course website: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course68/ ) Dive into NGS biology, mastering both concepts and data handling. Learn quality assessment, genome assembly, RNAseq, differential gene expression, and phylogenomics. Focus on both Illumina data and long-read data (Oxford Nanopore Technologies/PacBio). Learn how to use Docker, Singularity, and how to write reproducible pipelines using Nextflow and Snakemake Course Structure: Five-day modular format with lectures, discussions, and hands-on sessions. Practical exercises to reinforce skills and knowledge. Group discussions on results interpretation. Learning Outcomes: Handle NGS data reliably and reproducibly. Understand the strengths and pitfalls of NGS. Gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art methods in genomics, transcriptomics, and phylogenomics. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different sequencing technologies. Participants are encouraged to bring their data for analysis and discussion.
