nine-day practical course
NGS Data Analysis
August 11-19, 2015, Moscow
High concentrate version of NGS-courses, that was passed in MSU Faculty of Bioengineering and Bioinformatics in 2014 and 2015. You will study to process and analyse NGS data.

We are waiting for programmers, biologists and bioinformatics.
Programme
Each day of course you will study from 11am ere night
NGS technologies: theory and practice
Maria Logacheva
Physical principles and technological solutions. Typical data: output size, runtime, read length, paired and strand-assigned reads, error types and rates, etc. Cost-performance.
Typical use cases for different platforms
Unix practice
Dmitry Vinogradov
bash scripting, grep, wc, awk, head, tail, sort
Preprocessing of data
Quality control. Trimming, sequencing error correction, digital normalization
De novo genome sequencing
Artem Kasianov
Choice of platform. Selection of libraries (insert size). Genome assembly. Single-cell sequencing and assembly. Whole genome alignment, synteny blocks.
RNA-Seq de novo assembly
Introduction to R and statistics
Pavel Mazin
Statistical tests, robustness, multiple testing, false discovery rate
Dimension reduction. Clustering methods. Regression and ANOVA, discrete distributions, GLM, log-likelihood text. Biological variability (overdispersion)
Statistical analysis of transcriptomic data
Pavel Mazin
Classification and machine learning methods (linear and quadratic discriminant analysis, support vector machines, neural networks, decision trees. lm/anova; glm/anodev. Data normalization and analysis of gene expression: edgeR, limma, DESeq
Analysis of alternative splicing, clustering, interpretations of results (annotation of gene sets, hypergeometric test, GOStat, GSEA etc.)
Раковая Genome resequencing
Elena Nabieva, Michail Pyatnitsky
NGS in medicine: exome and targeted sequencing. Short-read mapping. SNP and short indel calling. SNP evaluation. Intro to cancer: background, cancer evolution, passenger and driver mutations, analysis of functional subsystems. Cancer genomics: somatic mutations
