Abstract

The course will provide hands-on training for advanced students (e.g. master, doctoral or post-doctoral level) in genomic data handling and analysis. The focus is on high-throughput nucleodite sequencing applications and data analysis with a strong emphasis on reproducibility and report writing.

Objective

The learning target is to understand the analysis of high-throughput molecular sequence data. We cover the fundamentals of biocomputing, and reproducibility is an integral part of the course. Exercises will help to better understand the theory. It is, however, not a copy-paste course, but a more applied data analysis with discussion.

Content

This lecture has been offered by the Genetic Diversity Centre (GDC) for over ten years. Last year's lecture ( https://www.gdc-docs.ethz.ch/GeneticDiversityAnalysis/GDA21/site/ ) gives an overview of the content. We try to keep up to date and for this reason slight adaptations may occur.

Resources

Lecture Notes

Teaching materials and exercises will be available on the course website in due course (https://www.gdc-docs.ethz.ch/GeneticDiversityAnalysis/GDA/site/)

Literature

We will provide links to scientific literature and textbooks.
