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.
