The next-generation sequencing (NGS) generates large volumes of data which can be converted into meaningful information via data analysis pipelines. This webinar is intended to introduce key data analysis and bioinformatics concepts used in analysis of Illumina sequencing data. The content of webinar is suitable for researchers who are new or intermediate to NGS data analysis and interested in Illumina analysis solutions.
We will discuss:
- Experimental design
- Key bioinformatics concepts such as FASTQ file, alignment, variant calling, de novo assembly and RNA Seq analysis
- Highlights of Illumina software tools.
