Analyzing NGS Data: Standard data processing and workflow analysis on high powered computing environment

10:00am to 1:00pm

Location: 

Countway Floor L2: 025

The NGS technologies have the potential to dramatically accelerate biomedical research by enabling
comprehensive analysis of genomes and transcriptomes to become inexpensive, routine, and
widespread tools. This workshop will focus on methods for base‐calling and variant‐calling, for aligning
reads to reference sequences (e.g. genomes), and for de novo assembly of short reads into longer
sequences. The following tools will be covered on Orchestra, a shared research cluster; quality reports
of FASTQ files, trimming and filtering of reads, alignment and coverage objects such...

Affymetrix and Illumina microarray data analysis using R/Bioconductor

10:00am to 12:00pm

Location: 

Countway Floor L2: 025

Affymetrix and Illumina microarray data analysis using R/Bioconductor

The course is a general introduction to Microarrays and the use of R/Bioconductor to carry out microarray data analysis. Following introduction the workshop starts with hands‐on exercise on how to install R and Bioconductor GUI packages. The course is mainly based on the use of Bioconductor open source packages for analyzing single channel and two channel data sets. Only basic R coding will be introduced since most the analysis are performed using OneChannelGUI, a graphical interface to Bioconductor tools...
