Genome bioinformatics: from short- to long-read sequencing

This course offered by the EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute provides a mixture of presentations and practicals to help advance your knowledge and skills in the analysis of biological data. 

After the course participants will be able to:

• State the advantages and limitations of short- and long-read sequencing technologies
• Apply appropriate quality control (QC) and aligners to unassembled short- and long-reads
• Perform variant calling analysis and annotation
• Scale-up and automate simple genomics pipelines
• Access genomic datasets from online public resources

This training is currently available free of charge as a self-paced, asynchronous learning experience. All course materials can be accessed at any time via the dedicated webpage.
However, the course is also available as a synchronous, in-person training held in the UK. Participants must register in advance and pay a fee to attend the one-week program.
