Bioinformatics Short Course July 29-31, 2013
ChIP-seq Analysis Using Next Generation Sequencing
Next Generation DNA sequencing technologies have ushered in a wave of analytical techniques which are intimidating due to their size and complexity. However for those trained in generating and analyzing these data sets these technologies offer powerful and innovative approaches to genome-wide investigations routine.
In the summer of 2013, the Iowa Institute of Human Genetics will offer a Bioinformatics Short Course. The course will focus on the most popular next-generation sequencing platforms - the Illumina HiSeq and MiSeq systems, in conjunction with the powerful Galaxy framework to allow investigators to import, QC, align and analyze their data. A series of lectures to introduce basic concepts of data management within Galaxy will be interwoven with practical examples of data analysis specifically tailored to ChIP-seq analysis. Hands-on sessions will enable participants to analyze data from its generation to interpretation. This class will be valuable for both those wanting to learn the basic operations within the Galaxy frame work and also for those wanting to further understand ChIP-seq analysis.
