Avainteksti

Course is aimed at students who wish to learn how to manipulate and analyse genomics data using a suite of bioinformatics tools.

Kuvaus

The course teaches the students to use bioinformatics methods to analyse genetic and genomics data, so that they can understand processes affecting genetic diversity in wild populations. The course focuses on using variation in DNA sequences / genomes to understand selection pressures in wild populations.

After providing guidance about basic sequence analysis and an introduction to the use of UNIX, the course then instructs students how to assemble and annotate next generation sequence (NGS) data, and also how to map reads and call genetic variants (polymorphisms) from the data, and also how to view the data and associated annotation files. 


Osaamistavoitteet

After completing the course, the student will
  • is able to search genetic and genomics databases to retrieve appropriate data,
  • understands principles behind different types of NGS technology,
  • has skills to use UNIX command line to manipulate large data sets,
  • can use appropriate bioinformatics tools to assemble and annotate a small genome,
  • can identify and quantify genetic variation from genomic data,
  • can identify signs of selection in samples, and
  • can interpret his/her research critically and report back to others.
