| Syllabus: | This unit will provide students with the capability to apply their disciplinary knowledge in analytical and manipulative techniques, to extract meaningful biological information from data generated by high-throughput sequencing technologies. This will allow the professional application of these technical skills to basic and applied research and to diagnostic applications relevant to human health. Lectures will include training in the working principles of sequencing instrumentation and its data output, and the processes and workflows used in the applications of current and future genome analysis. This includes applying specialised software to analyse and annotate sequence data and will teach novel and challenging features of short-read sequence assembly, de novo sequence assembly, large sequence data storage and processing. Tasks will include the presentation of results from sequencing experiments in various publication formats. Students will research current topics in high-throughput sequencing and create professional-quality reports on them. The unit will therefore teach the management of output from a high-throughput sequencing pipeline. |
