Who Is This Course For

This intermediate course is aimed at an audience interested in learning more about NGS technology and its applications. While the course does contain an introduction to DNA’s structure and function alongside some of the basic genetic concepts, some previous knowledge in genetics and genomics may be useful to understand the in-depth technological advancements and analysis options that this tool both uses and provides. Overall, the content of this certification encompasses a broad range of topics linked to NGS and explores the current and emerging sequencing technologies alongside their advantages. A step-by-step approach to the NGS workflow and an overview of its varied applications will provide a solid overview to anyone interested in this technology.

What you'll learn

  • Review the genetic concepts required to understand NGS and explore the development of the first generations of DNA sequencing methods
  • Explore and understand the motivation and fundamental basis of NGS, the current and emerging sequencing technologies alongside their advantages and potential biases that may affect their accuracy
  • Learn the typical workflow of NGS from sample preparation to making high-quality libraries, to post-sequencing quality control and data management
  • Gain familiarity with the major application of NGS which include, among others, transcriptomic analysis by RNA-Seq, genomic variation discovery by Whole Genome Sequencing, and epigenomics
  • Discover what the future of NGS may hold by covering the current changing landscape of NGS and the rapid evolution of data analysis bioinformatics tools
