After several successful years we are again inviting you to join our data analysis workshop which covers all basic steps of Next-Generation sequencing data analysis.
This five day computationally-intensive workshop focuses on quality control, sequence editing, read mapping and alignment. Additionally, this year we will pay a special attention to RNASeq data analysis.
You will be briefly introduced into the Linux operating system and in this environment you will analyze sequencing data using various publicly available tools.
Who should attend?
This workshop is aimed at beginners as well as advanced users, life scientists and bioinformaticians interested in the analysis of Next-Generation sequencing data. No prior knowledge of sequences data analysis or specific programming skills are required.
What will you learn?
Workshop agenda
Day 1: Linux as a scientific tool - Go beyond the graphical interface
Speakers
Our team of speakers includes professionals focusing on data analysis but also sample processing in Next-Generation Sequencing lab and other related tasks and therefore as a team able to provide a comprehensive insight into the whole data analysis workflow in context.
A basic knowledge of BASH, Unix terminal and R usage are not necessary but advantageous. If you are a newbie to the field, we recommend you go through some tutorials.
Special offer: All our courses and workshops can also be organized at your workplace, for your working group. So as a tailor-made event. Some of our events were even created in this way - at the client's request. The advantage of this format is, of course, the ability to prepare a turnkey event for your team, reflect your specific requirements and needs, including the ability to work with your data. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact us.

This workshop is aimed at beginners as well as advanced users, life scientists and bioinformaticians interested in the analysis of Next-Generation sequencing data. No prior knowledge of sequences data analysis or specific programming skills are required.
What will you learn?
- How to perform basic manipulations with raw sequences and read mapping
- How to choose and accomplish the most appropriate approach to RNASeq and evaluate its outcome
- You will gain hands-on experience using a range of data resources and tools
- You will have the option of networking with experienced team of speakers and other participants
- At the last day of the week you will be provided with a bootable USB stick with all tools used and data analyzed
- All your 5-day work stored and ready to be used immediately when you get back to your lab!
- Trainers will provide lectures with follow-up hands-on exercises in order to have the participants learning and assessing their knowledge
- All workshop participants will perform all data analysis tasks themselves!
- The powerful computer infrastructure available at the conference center will be used (no personal laptops are required/allowed)
- Overall, get ready for a very intensive week…
