COURSE OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this workshop is to get a deeper understanding in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and computational drug discovery with a special focus on bioinformatics issues. Advantages and disadvantages of current sequencing technologies and their implications on data analysis will be discovered. You will be trained on understanding basic bioinformatics tools, software’s and databases, NGS data formats and handling potential problems/errors therein. In the course we will use a real-life RNA-seq dataset from the current market leader Illumina. The workshop will provide hands on experience in implementing various optimization techniques, developing statistical tools for analyzing biological data, and using public biological databases. Most (but not all) projects have both research and implementation aspects. We offer projects in various current subjects in computational biology, including analysis of gene expression data and DNA microarrays, analysis of gene structure, understanding genomic pathways, construction of phylogenetic trees and networks, etc.
Dr.C.N.Prashantha Assistant Professor, Department of Biotechnology, School of Applied Science, REVA University. He had rich experience on Next Generation sequencing and data analysis of more than 12 years. He is providing hands on training on Bioinformatics and NGS data analysis such as RNA-seq, ChIP-Seq, Exome-Seq, Whole-Genome Sequencing etc.
