Some people think they can't handle Next-Generation Sequencing data analysis. They are wrong!
You can start with zero coding experience. You will get acquainted with various formats of NGS data, learn basic programming skills and understand the background of individual processes used to modify and analyse NGS data. After this three-day workshop, you will not become a bioinformatician, but you will be well on your way to becoming a qualified partner for bioinformaticians in your team. Join our workshop and learn by doing!
Day 1 - Setting Up Your Environment
Who Should Attend?
This hands-on workshop is designed for biologists, healthcare professionals, and lab researchers who want to analyze Next-Generation Sequencing data while gaining confidence in the command line and basic programming concepts.
General information
This event is organised by SEQme company. We are a DNA sequencing solution provider with laboratories located in Central Europe and serving several hundreds of clients every year.
We organize courses and workshops since 2012. Our team of speakers is comprised of our employees, NGS lab specialists, data analysts and bioinformaticians. For selected events from our portfolio we work together also with our external partners and collaborators, usually bioinformaticians with deep knowledge of particular application-specific pipelines.

Day 1 - Setting Up Your Environment
- Introduction to NGS data and its applications
- Understanding common NGS data formats
- Getting started with the Linux operating system
- Navigating the command line and using essential terminal commands
- Using command-line tools to process NGS data
- Assessing raw data quality through visualization techniques
- Pre-processing short-read FASTA/FASTQ files with various software tools

Who Should Attend?
This hands-on workshop is designed for biologists, healthcare professionals, and lab researchers who want to analyze Next-Generation Sequencing data while gaining confidence in the command line and basic programming concepts.
- Beginners — No prior coding knowledge needed!
- Biologists, lab technicians, and healthcare professionals working with sequencing data
- Anyone who wants to improve their NGS data handling and programming skills
- The fundamentals of NGS data and its formats
- How to navigate and use the command line efficiently
- Essential programming skills to process sequencing data
- Quality control: filtering and cleaning raw NGS reads
- Read mapping, visualization, and quality assessment
- Best practices to get a high-quality dataset for further analysis
- This is a hands-on computer workshop with presentations and practical demonstrations.
- A necessary prerequisite is computer literacy and basic knowledge of molecular biology (DNA, RNA, gene expression, PCR). Knowledge of BASH and the terminal is not required, but is an advantage.
General information
- Language: English
- Printed presentations are provided for in-person events, pdfs for online events (will be emailed to you a few days before the online event commences).
