Course Catalog

This course introduces students to next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and computational pipelines to store, validate, quantify, and visualize NGS data. Students will be exposed to the concepts and software driving NGS analysis and will acquire hands-on experience utilizing these tools both through the command-line and through integrated platforms. Students will demonstrate practical knowledge of NGS data analysis through the course’s final project, which will require students to produce an analytical pipeline and present their findings in written form.
