Variant detection using Galaxy
This 1.5 day workshop will include a short introduction to next-generation sequencing theory and an introduction to Galaxy. The hands-on component of the workshop will cover the concepts of detection small variants, including SNPs and small indels, from next-generation sequencing data. You will use and compare a number of popular variant detection tools, visualise variants using a genome browser, and annotate SNPs for predicted biological effects.
The workshop will all be based in Galaxy, a platform that provides a simple and user-friendly interface to bioinformatics tools.
Recommended participants: Biologists and other life scientists planning to work with next-generation sequencing data for small variant detection. Participants must bring their own laptops with wireless network capability.
More information about the workshop is on QFAB's website.
Places are limited, register for the workshop by 5pm, Monday 14th May. Cost: $25
