Introduction to Genomics

The aim of this workshop is to take you through a few example projects and tasks. On the way you will learn how to evaluate the quality of data as provided by a sequencing facility, how to align the data against a known and annotated reference genome and how to perform a de-novo assembly. In addition you will also learn how to compare results between different samples.

This workshop is broken into 6 parts. You should feel free to take as long as you like on each part. It is much more important that you have a thorough understanding of each part, rather than try to race through the entire workshop.

The workshop sections are:

• Part 1. Short Read Genomics: Introduction
• Part 2. Short Read Genomics: Remapping
• Part 3. Unmapped Read Assembly
• Part 4. De-novo Assembly
• Part 5. Comparative Analysis
• Part 6. Long Read Assembly
