DESCRIPTION:Quality control is an essential component of sequencing experim
 ents and can help identify potential problems early in the analysis proces
 s. This course introduces the common pitfalls of short-read sequencing stu
 dies and provides approaches for visualisation and quality assessment of s
 equencing data.\n\nParticipants will gain an understanding of Illumina seq
 uencing and the quality control metrics that can be extracted from sequenc
 ing reads\, including base quality scores. The course also covers how qual
 ity metrics vary across different library types and how to distinguish bet
 ween expected and unexpected quality control results.\n\nParticipants will
  be introduced to key software tools for sequencing quality assessment\, i
 ncluding FastQC\, FastQ Screen\, and MultiQC. The emphasis of the course i
 s on understanding and interpreting quality reports rather than on running
  the software itself.\n\nBy the end of the course\, participants should be
  able to critically assess sequencing quality reports and recognise potent
 ial issues in sequencing experiments.\n\nTeaching is primarily hands-on\, 
 with short presentations\, demonstrations\, and practical exercises introd
 ucing the concepts and methods needed to assess sequencing data quality.\n
