Program
The online course DNA Sequencing - NGS & TGS will provide an overview of the sequencing technologies Illumina, Ion Torrent, Nanopore & PacBio. The goal is to understand library preparation, PCR amplification and short- and long-read sequencing. You will also learn how sequencing data is processed, visualized and interpreted. Combining theory and practice will help you develop an understanding of the technology and how it is applied in data analysis.
Learning outcomes
- You will have insight into the principles of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Third Generation Sequencing (TGS);
- You will understand the advantages and limitations of both sequencing technologies;
- You will know how raw sequencing data are processed;
- You will know how the results are visualized;
- You will know how to interpret sequencing data.
Topics
The course covers the following topics:
| Day 1 (theory) |
|
| Day 2 (theory) |
|
| Day 3 (practice) |
|
Participants’ own data
On the third day of the course you will be given data to work with. You can also bring your own data, provided they meet the requirements that the lecturer provides in class.
