Genome Browser Course

Description.

Modern genomics technologies are able to produce large volumes of data that often leave researchers feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to begin the process of biological interpretation. In this course, we explain the common file formats generated by sequencing technologies and how they can be manipulated and explored by non bioinformaticians. The main tools that we will use are the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) and University of Santa Cruz (UCSC) genome browser.
