Who Is This Course For
This intermediate-level course is designed for those interested in learning more about NGS technology and its applications. While the course includes an introduction to DNA structure and function, as well as some basic genetic concepts, prior knowledge of genetics and genomics may be helpful in fully understanding the in-depth technological advancements and analysis options that this tool both uses and provides. Overall, the content of this certification covers a broad range of topics related to NGS and explores current and emerging sequencing technologies along with their advantages. A step-by-step approach to the NGS workflow, coupled with an overview of its various applications, will provide a solid foundation for 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, 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 and high-quality library creation to post-sequencing quality control and data management.
- Gain familiarity with the major applications 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.
