Dear colleagues, I am happy to announce the 6th edition of the Transmitting Science course "Manipulation of NGS Data for Genomic and Population Genetics Analyses", this course will be run online. Schedule: Online live sessions on May 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th and 14th, 2025; 13:00 to 17:00 (Madrid time zone). This course offers a comprehensive introduction to Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data analysis, guiding participants through second and third-sequencing technologies, command-line operations, and data management. Key topics include quality assessment, variant detection, and large-scale genomic analyses. Participants will gain hands-on experience with computational pipelines and explore analytical approaches to address diverse biological research questions. Course webpage: https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/genetics-and-genomics/manipulation-ngs-data-genomic-population-genetics-analyses/ Course programme: * Introduction to NGS sequencing platforms. * Introduction to basic command lines. * Basic raw data manipulations (counting sequences, listing files). * Raw data QC & Cleaning. * Mapping: principle, tools, execution, cleaning, data control, * SNP calling: raw calling, cleaning calling, filtering. * VCF manipulations: filtering on MAF, heterozygosity * Impact of SNPs on genes. * Population genomics using sNMF. * Assembling genomes with long reads * Comparing assembled genomes and SV detection * Testing tools and different conditions to answer different biological questions. * Discussion about bioinformatic strategies related with sientific projects of participants.
