> This workshop is designed to showcase paths to successful utilization of highseq
> data while providing a solid understanding as to why specific tools were
> chosen. It includes a collection of presentations describing the experiments
> themselves followed by extended hands-on sessions. Our goal is to provide
> experimentalists both the theory and the experience to be able to institute
> these pipeline in their own laboratory.
> * On Thursday the presenters will explain the various experimental
> design choices from selecting methods and algorithms to other parameters
> and considerations in order to acheive specific outcomes.
> * On Friday there will be three 2-hour sessions with two workshops
> per session running concurrently. Attendees get hands-on experience in a
> directed tutorial that takes a preliminary dataset through a pipeline that is
> properly tuned to the experiment. Attendees select workshop sessions, on a
> first-come first-serve basis.
> Participants will take home the datasets, presentations, and will be able to
> obtain images of the analysis system for use in their home labs.
> 
> 
> Topics include:
> * Basic HTS data cleansing with
> Velvet - the preliminary sorting of
> raw data to exclude poor quality,
> adaptors and other artefacts.
> * ChIP-Seq data analysis - the goal
> of this session ios to perform some
> basic tasks in the analysis of ChIPSeq
> data.
> * Amplicon fequency in a
> forensic experiment.
> * Amplicon frequency in a
> metagenomic experiment
> * RNA-Seq analysis in a
> Visual analytics framework
> for splice form recognition
> * Tailoring NGS analysis
> pipelines using Galaxy
