Snyder Road > Charlotte, NC 2822 > > Registration is at cci.uncc.edu/wings > > 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 > > ************************* > Dr. Jennifer W Weller > Bioinformatics Bldg 353 > 9201 University City Blvd > Charlotte NC 28223 > 704-687-7678 (office) > 704-687-8667 (fax) > ************************* > > > > > >
