You will (probably) not come away being an expert
We cannot teach you everything about NGS data
- plus, it is a fast-moving field
- will cover a selection of tools / methods
However, we hope that you will
- Understand how your data are processed
- Be able to explore your data - no programming required
- Understand the issues and compromises involved in current methods
- Communicate more effectively with the Bioinformaticians dealing with your data
- Increase confidence with R and Bioconductor
- Know where to get help
- Be able to explore new technologies, methods, tools as they come out
- Meet your colleagues from other CRUK institutes
- Have fun!
All materials will be online after the course
- tell your colleagues, friends!

We have an “etherpad” at https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/2018-07-23-functional-genomics
Use this to ask questions during the talks
We can post code snippets, links and corrections here too
