Workshops

This 5-day workshop will cover the key bioinformatics concepts and tools required to analyze cancer genomic data sets and access and work with data sets in the Cloud. Participants will gain practical experience and skills to: Visualize genomic data; Analyze cancer –omic data for gene expression, genome rearrangement, somatic mutations, and copy number variation; Analyze and conduct pathway analysis on the resultant cancer gene list; Integrate clinical data; Launch, configure, customize, and scale virtual machines (VM); Navigate and work with data sets from Cloud repositories; and Follow best practices in data and workflow management.

Beginning with an understanding of major sequencing technologies, participants will gain practical experience and skills to be able to: Assess sequence quality Map sequence data onto a reference genome Identify variants, including single-nucleotide variants, indels, and structural variants Perform de novo genome assembly and evaluate the quality and completeness of it.  Integrate biological context with sequence information
