We will start with an introduction into Illumina NGS technology and the library preparation workflow. The main part will be the wet lab preparation of libraries from genomic DNA, with a focus on the critical steps and potential pitfalls of the protocol. Finally we will quality control and normalize the prepared libraries. We will also have a basic training on assay design using DesignStudio and data analysis of TruSeq Amplicon sequencing results using standard Illumina tools like MiSeq Reporter and VariantStudio.
