DESCRIPTION:This online workshop provides a solid\, practical introduction 
 to Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) with a clear focus on bioinformatics q
 uestions. We discuss the advantages and limitations of current sequencing 
 technologies and what they mean for data quality\, analysis strategies and
  interpretation.\n\nYou will work with a real-life Illumina dataset and le
 arn how to:\n- understand your own NGS data\,\n- identify potential proble
 ms and error sources\, and\n- perform a first downstream analysis for DNA 
 variant calling.\n\nThe course is designed for beginners in NGS bioinforma
 tics and allows scientists with no or little background in computer scienc
 e to get a first hands-on experience in this fast-evolving field.\n\nThe o
 nline course uses a modern web conferencing system. All hands-on NGS analy
 sis is done on a browser-based terminal connected to a high-performance cl
 oud computer - no local installation required. Before the course\, you wil
 l receive a printed manuscript by mail.
