Introduction to NGS Data Analysis
Introduction to NGS Data Analysis is a three-day, hands-on workshop that offers attendees a basic understanding of NGS data analysis workflows. The workshop provides hands-on computational experience in analysis of NGS data using common analytical approaches for ChIP-Seq, RNA-Seq data and de novo genome assembly.

Workshop Content
Topics covered by this workshop include:
- An introduction to the command line interface and NGS file formats
- Assessment of the quality of NGS sequence reads
- Sequence alignment algorithms
- Basic ChIP-Seq analysis
- Basic RNA-Seq analysis

This workshop will be delivered using a mixture of lectures, hands-on practical sessions, and open discussions. For draft timetable please click here.
Recommended Participants
Introductio to NGS Data Analysis workshop is designed for bench scientists, PhD students and early career postdoctoral researchers who require NGS in their research area but have minimal bioinformatics experience. The workshop utilises the Linux command-line, although no prior programming experience is required familiarity will be useful.
Preference will be given to medical researchers from NSW and ACT based organisations.
