Overview

Welcome to this introductory course about NGS data analysis. During this course you will learn the basics of NGS data analysis and visualization in a Linux environment, current used software and best practices will be explained. This course is focused in NGS data alignment for DNA, variant calling, annotation, association and data visualization.

This is course is scheduled for 2 days and assumes a very basic knowledge of NGS data analysis and Linux. All materials in this is course are free and open, feel free to reuse them as you want. All the data for the tutorials are available in our DropBox folder.

Schedule

Day 1

During this first day we will start with an introduction to NGS technology and in the data preparation for their analysis. You will also learn the basics of the GNU/Linux shell introduction. At this point we are ready to start preparing and working with the data: Quality Control (QC) and NGS data alignment.
