Course description

Advanced Genome Informatics will equip students with the knowledge and practical computing skills necessary to undertake a wide range of genome scale analyses using data produced by high-throughput sequencing technologies. The background lectures will introduce current approaches for analysing data including read mapping, de novo assembly, visualization, and phylogenomics. There will be an emphasis in developing good practice in experimental design and understanding the principles that underpin the commonly used bioinformatics analysis tools. Throughout the course students will learn practical genomics in a series of computer-based practicals using real sequence data, unix command-line tools and high performance computing resources.
