Location: Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH. Room: Remsen 512
Workshop Summary:
This two-day workshop is intended for anyone new to genomic and bioinformatic applications. Here we will introduce you to the command-line environment, BASH (Bourne-Again Shell), and general big-data analysis. Throughout the process we provide a guided bioinformatic tutorial working with whole-genome sequencing data. This workshop will briefly walk through the generation of next-generation sequencing data, followed by in-depth hands-on analysis including evaluation of data quality, assembly of bacterial genomes, genome annotation/assessment, visualizations, and submission of data to public repositories.
Topics to include:
- Introduction to Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
- BASH and the command-line environment
- Accessing a remote server
- Transferring files to/from a server
- Common Linux commands
- Guided bioinformatic workflow
- Overview of whole-genome sequencing
- Quality control
- Genome assembly and annotation
- Assessing and characterizing a genome
- Data visualizations, reporting, submission of data
- Rigor and reproducibility in bioinformatics
