Workshop - Hinxton, Cambridge, United Kingdom
This five-day workshop aims to give molecular microbiologists a working knowledge of genomic analysis, which will cover the handling and processing of DNA sequence and transcriptomic data produced by ‘second generation’ sequencers. The course will be taught by members of the Sanger Institute Pathogen Genomics team and will take the form of a series of modules covering most aspects of sequence analysis and exploitation. Modules will be introduced with a short talk, followed by 'hands on' worked examples using bacterial and small eukaryotic pathogens.
The course begins with training in the use of genome analysis software (Artemis and ACT) developed at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute for genome exploration and comparative genomics. It then goes onto cover the mapping of Illumina sequence data and calling and recording SNPs and other sequence variation data. The course also features a module that aims to teach the basics of using genome/gene sequences to plot phylogenetic relationships between microbes, as well as an introduction to basic scripting for processing and mining data.
