NGS data are short sequences from a large number of (mostly many millions) DNA/RNA molecules. To analyze these amounts of sequences, powerful computer tools are a must.
In this course you will learn, among other things, how to use programs that can derive an entire DNA strand of an organism by linking millions of NGS sequences in the correct order. You will also learn how to study activity patterns of all genes of an organism, using programs that analyze millions of NGS sequences from an RNA sample. Additional elements included in the course are to learn how to handle analytics in a UNIX/Linux environment.
