With the introduction of next generation sequencing platforms, it is becoming feasible to consider sequencing approaches to address many research projects. Now more than ever, having knowledge of the available bioinformatic resources and the informatic skills to analyze such data is critical.

The Canadian Bioinformatics Workshops, in collaboration with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, has developed a comprehensive 7-day course covering the key bioinformatics concepts and tools required to analyze DNA- and RNA-sequence reads using a reference genome. Participants will gain experience in cloud computing and data visualization tools, which will be applied throughout the course. Beginning with an understanding of the workflow involved to move from platform images to sequence generation, participants will gain practical experience and skills to be able to evaluate sequence read quality, map reads to a reference and analyze sequence reads for variation and expression level. The workshop will conclude with analyzing and conducting pathway and network analysis on the resultant ‘gene’ list. The tutorials are designed as self-contained units that include example data (e.g. Illumina paired-end data) and detailed instructions for installation of all required bioinformatics tools.
