[bip] Summer course, June 2010: analyzing next-generation sequencing data

[C. Titus Brown]

Hi all,

this will be using Python primarily, and probably pysam, etc.  We'll
also demo pygr although it won't be a centerpiece.

Please forward to interested people.

cheers,

Analyzing Next-Generation Sequencing Data

May 31 - June 11th, 2010
Kellogg Biological Station, MSU
CSE 891 s431 / MMG 890 s433, 2 cr

Applications are due by midnight EST, April 9th, 2010.

Course sponsor: Gene Expression in Disease and Development Focus Group at
Michigan State University.

Instructors: Dr. C. Titus Brown and Dr. Gregory V. Wilson

Course Description

This intensive two week summer course will introduce students with a strong
biology background to the practice of analyzing short-read sequencing data from
the Illumina GA2 and other next-gen platforms. The first week will introduce
students to computational thinking and large-scale data analysis on UNIX
platforms. The second week will focus on mapping, assembly, and analysis of
short-read data for resequencing, ChIP-seq, and RNAseq.

No prior programming experience is required, although familiarity with some
programming concepts is suggested, and bravery in the face of the unknown is
necessary. 2 years or more of graduate school in a biological science is
strongly suggested.
