Course Details
• Introduction to NGS Bioinformatics – covering fundamental concepts and applications of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) in bioinformatics and bioengineering.
• Sequence Alignment – diving into the alignment algorithms and tools used to compare DNA or protein sequences, including Needleman-Wunsch, Smith-Waterman, and BLAST.
• Genome Assembly – delving into the process of reconstructing genomes from short-read sequencing data using tools like SPAdes, Canu, and Flye.
• Variant Calling – exploring methods for identifying genetic variations in NGS data with tools like GATK, FreeBayes, and VarScan.
• RNA-Seq Analysis – focusing on the analysis of RNA-Seq data, including read alignment, transcript assembly, and differential expression analysis.
• Epigenomics – covering the analysis of epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs.
• Metagenomics – delving into the analysis of microbial communities using NGS data, including read alignment, species identification, and functional annotation.
• Population Genomics – exploring approaches for analyzing genetic variation in populations, including phylogenetics, population structure, and selection analysis.
• Cloud Computing for NGS Bioinformatics – introducing cloud-based solutions for large-scale NGS data analysis, including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure.
