#NGS for evolutionary biologists: from basic scripting to variant calling
Biblioteca, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche via P. Castellino 111 80131 Naples, Italy May 2-6, 2016 course announcement course program |
Recent advances in genome sequencing technologies provide unprecedented opportunities to characterize individual genomes and identify mutations relevant for the study of both evolutionary questions and diagnosis and therapy. This course runs over five days focusing on variant analysis of NGS data and is addressed to wet lab scientists with little or no previous knowledge of the use of a command line, statistical computing packages, and programming. Participants are immersed in the experience of running a complete NGS data analysis work-flow, from the retrieval of raw data from bioinformatics resources, to the downstream analysis of the processed data.
This repository is for the course materials and it is organized as follows:

day 2 | NGS platforms and Data format an Quality Control | Data QC |
day 3 | Mapping and BAM refinement | Mapping |
day 4 | Variant Calling | SNP calling, SV calling and Filtering |
days 2-5 | Practical Projects | Project 1 and Project 2 |
