Training: Variant Detection using Galaxy
Start Friday, November 22, 2013 at 9:00AM
This workshop will cover the concepts of detecting small variants, including SNPs and small indels, from next-generation sequencing data. Using Galaxy, a platform which provides a user-friendly interface to bioinformatics tools, Mark Crowe from QFAB will introduce the tools, data types and workflow of variant detection analysis. An optional afternoon session will cover more advanced topics, including the use of statistically-based variant detection approaches and functional annotation of variants, along with practice exercises.
