The purpose of this workshop is to get a deeper understanding in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) with a special focus on bioinformatics issues. Advantages and disadvantages of current sequencing technologies and their implications on data analysis will be discovered. You will be trained on understanding NGS data formats and handling potential problems/errors therein.

In a nutshell:

• Learn the essential computing skills for NGS bioinformatics
• Understand NGS analysis algorithms (e.g. read alignment) and data formats
• Use bioinformatics tools for handling RNA-Seq data
• Compare different approaches for differential expression analysis
