Thanks
Thanks for the info drio and krobinson.
Perhaps I'll see if the DNALinux people are interested in adding some of the NGS tools to the VM image and if so, I could build some of them in.
Ha, thanks for the "real programmer" comment. I tend to think of people who can write a video card driver in assembly as "real" programmers, but I guess that is the minority of even CS grads.

I am interested in this as well but I do not find most reviews and papers I have read helpful as for learning. Does anyone know any tutorial that really explains the procedures in detail?

I'd like to get up to speed on the essential NGS software and practice a bit with it. I am fluent in a couple programming languages (R, Perl, Java, C#, Python) but am not a "real" CS programmer (biologist by training).
The software can introduce indels, SNPs, errors, etc...
bwa and maq have something similar too.
Figure out what is the current throughput from the different sequencers and generate data to "play" with it.
If you need to get closer to the sequencer, that is going to be more complicate. Start by downloading the manuals from your sequencer of choice and get the big picture of how the data flow happens.

Anyone who says they are fluent in 5 computer languages should quite saying they are not a "real" programmer!
The NCBI Short Reads Archive & European Short Reads Archive are good sources for datasets. Many of the programs will run on a typical laptop or desktop, though for really big datasets you will run into challenges.
Bowtie is a good first program to try.
There are several reviews floating around on second generation sequencing data analysis; one of the Nature magazines (Biotech? Methods?) had a special section recently. Or, just take one of the recent publications from the Literature Watch section here & read it end-to-end including the methods & try to digest that.

Dave - interested in trial data sets and high-throughput sequencing tutorials

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
