Innovation Scholars Pillar 2 Course Map:
The aim of this course is designed for students without programming experience that want to process and analyse NGS data. In this course, we will use Galaxy, an open-source, web-based platform for accessible, reproducible, and transparent computational biomedical research. Even if we are only going to cover an NGS pipeline here (variant calling), this course will give students enough understanding on how Galaxy works, allowing them to easily run bioinformatics tools, setting up parameters and building larger workflows.
This course is for you if
- You are a complete/near complete beginner to bioinformatics
- You are a student, researcher, and professional seeking to enhance your skills in analyzing biological sequences, process NGS data and you don't have access to a cluster
- You want to be able to perform pre-processing and analysis of NGS data
- You are interested in variant calling and annotation
Course delivery mode
This course is entirely self-paced and all the materials are on the Learning Hub module. We recommend dedicating a total of approximately 5 hours of learning time to get the most out of this course.
You will be going through 10 to 15 minutes learning sessions. Each session:
- has a video lecture in which you are following the instructor in going through the tutorial provided
- has a link to learning materials the instructor is using if you prefer to read
- offers you to attempt small challenges based on what you learned before moving on
