Next Gen Sequencing Training Course

[maojn7488]

Hi everyone,

I am new to this great forum. Does anyone know a place who gives hands on training courses regarding next gen sequencing platform and downstream software analysis in US?

Thanks!

Not to quite answer your question, but the EBI in the UK have run a short read analysis course:

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/training/handson/course_090430_XF.html

I believe they have taken their courses to other countries in the past so many be amenable to doing so again if there was sufficient demand.

We also run a course on our site (also UK - sorry!) which covers the analysis of mapped reads using our software. All of our course material is available on our website for anyone else who wants to try it for themselves.

Thank you for replying

Too bad they are not in US! But I will definitely try it online. Thank you very much!

I saw this the other day:

Although it looks more in the bioinformatics side than on the 'pure' biologist side.

Thank you for replying

Thank you for the info.

This might be what you're looking for, although you'll have to wait until next time: http://meetings.cshl.edu/courses/c-seqtech09.shtml

That's exactly what I am looking for! Too bad I missed the deadline. I will try for this year anyway. Thank you very much!

This is blatant self-promotion, but our Core (UC Davis Bioinformatics Core, in the Genome Center on the Davis Campus) has taught a Next Gen sequencing applications course for two years now, in September. This year it was 5 days, with lectures in the mornings and hands on sessions on linux, Illumina / 454 assembly software, alignment tools, the UCSC Genome Browser, etc. in the afternoons. We're contemplating whether to continue the week-long format, or do several shorter classes, and would love comments on this.

Some of the walkthroughs are on one of our wiki pages:

.. but you can contact us through our main web page:

It's too late for this year

Hi, Thank you for the info. However, same as the course in CSHL, I am too late for this year :-(
Will definitely try next year if I can't find any this year.

Hi Jnfass

Thanks for pointing to the "Nuts N Bolts" wiki. Quite useful things I can find.

I would be interested in a week long course , it will be easier to do this in one trip than making several short trips. Ofcourse this is me speaking for myself.

Hi all. Thx for thr suggested courses.
Does someone know about courses (for biologists) in Switzerland or Europe generally?

Hai username,
I thought one is actually running this or next week in Leiden, LUMC, NL.

Hey thx jaspersaris. This would have been the right course, but it's too late now. Thx anyway. Is there a possibility to know this in advance? Maybe we should have a thread in this forum, where we would anounce the courses and workshops.
