. Topics will be delivered using a mixture of lectures, practical sessions and open discussions. Practical work during the course will use small, example datasets.Tentative programme will include the following:
- Exposure to current and Emerging Technologies in DNA Sequencing
- Metagenomes and microbiome
- Library Preparation
- Sequencing
- Next Generation Sequencing
- Raw data Analysis and Understanding reports
- NGS data management
- RNA Sequencing
- Challenges- NGS Data Analysis
