Annotation -
Within this course contemporary high-throughput sequencing techniques are introduced. The main focus of the course is on individual applications such as, e.g., ChIP-Seq, RNA-Seq, resequencing, metagenomics or de-novo sequencing. A procedures of the complete analyses for individual applications will be described, and will be demonstrated during practical exercises. Explained knowledge includes sequence quality reading ("base calling") and its control, data formats and standards, advanced software tools and evaluation of their suitability, mapping of sequence data, short and long sequence assembly, identification of SNPs, and functional annotation.

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

  • Know basic principles of contemporary sequencing techniques and their applications.
  • Will be acquainted with a branch terminology.
  • Will be able to analyse genomic data produced by experimental departments.
  • Will understand data formats, genomic data storage, assembly of short and long sequencies, sequence mapping onto known genomes.
  • Will be able to choose a suitable application to solve a given problem. Will gain general knowledge of existing software tools, their limitations and their strengths.
