Spring School in Bioinformatics (9th edition)

[Carlo Pecoraro]

Dear all,

there are only a few seats left for the 9th edition of the upcoming Spring School in Bioinformatics (9th edition), which will take place online from 8–12 June.

 

Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course68/

 

 

This five-day course provides a comprehensive introduction to Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data analysis, combining essential theoretical concepts with extensive hands-on training. Participants will gain practical experience working with real genomic and transcriptomic datasets, following the complete workflow from raw sequencing data to biological interpretation. Throughout the course, participants will learn how to evaluate sequencing quality, assemble and annotate genomes, perform RNA-seq and differential gene expression analyses, and investigate evolutionary relationships through phylogenomic approaches. We will focus on Illumina sequencing data as well as on the rapidly expanding field of long-read sequencing, exploring the applications, advantages, and analytical considerations of Nanopore and PacBio technologies. In addition to NGS data analysis, participants will develop essential computational skills for modern bioinformatics. Dedicated practical sessions will introduce the Linux command line, workflow management, and the use of Docker containers, empowering researchers to build reproducible and portable analysis pipelines.

 

Designed specifically for researchers and students with a background in the life sciences, this course is ideal for anyone seeking to strengthen their bioinformatics expertise and gain confidence in analysing genomic and transcriptomic data independently.
