Introduction to Bioinformatics of Next Generation Sequencing

Ended: May 7, 2020

Introduction to Bioinformatics of Next-Generation Sequencing

Speaker: Ruslan Sadreyev, Director of Bioinformatics

This introductory mini-course is intended for experimental and clinical researchers who would like to get oriented in basic Bioinformatics concepts and tools. It is intended as a primer that would allow you to better understand general ideas, approaches, and available methods, and to start asking the right questions about your experimental data in the context of major next-generation sequencing applications: RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, metagenomics, pathway analyses etc.

If you want to drill very deeply into a specific question or to get hands-on experience, this probably isn't a course for you. However, we are open to organizing more in-depth courses and workshops in the future.

Please contact dcredu@partners.org with any questions.

Anonymous: I agree with the post that suggested the course be broken into 3 sessions instead of 2. Even though the basics of bioinformatics were covered, there was a LOT of presented information. Better to have too much than too little.

Anonymous: Excellent overview of NGS sequencing technology and analysis for someone who wants to collaborate with bioinformatics teams on clinical/translational research. Agree with others that this could be split into three one hour sessions, and following a single 'case example' through the pipeline could be helpful as a reference point.

Anonymous: Good to review how NGS works overall. This course might be more suitable for bioinformatician who would like to understand what wet researchers are doing before submitting samples. For wet researchers who would like to start bioinformatic analysis, the list of packages are not very useful. Instead, to provide a model case and the pipeline which the NGS core recommends would be more helpful because most wet researchers would like to know the simplest solution to perform the pipeline by themselves.

William H: The course was exactly what it was - an intro to basic principles of NGS Bioinformatics. Great job by Ruslan presenting the content. I've learned quite a bit and was able to obtain food for thought for my (near) future experiments. Well done.

Anonymous: It was a decent introductory class. I am not a biologist or have an informatics training, but come from more of a clinical/public health side, so my background knowledge of this was quite preliminary. However, some of the concepts helped me understand a few things that were difficult when I read papers on epigenetics. The first class was informative but the last class was harder to understand without practical use. This is probably a good class for people who have more of a basic sciences training.
