BioTech 45: Bioinformatic Analysis of Next Generation Sequencing Data
(Formerly Bio-Trac 45)
Biotechnology Training Courses at the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
This course will introduce students to bioinformatic analysis of next generation sequencing data, particularly for DNA-seq, RNA-seq, CHIP-seq, and epigenomics. The course will be comprised of lectures and hand-on sessions. Lectures will cover background knowledge and survey various software programs. For hand-on sessions, command line tools will be presented and the galaxy web based platform will be used to analyze primary data. Cloud computing, genomic databases, and de novo assembly will be surveyed.
Topics
Overview on Bioinformatics Tools: Galaxy (Pre-processing, Format Conversion, etc.), Databases and Tools, SNP Callers, Cloud; RNA-seq; CHIP-seq; Epigenomics; Cloud Computing; 10k Genomes; Data Visualization; Comparative Genomics and Genome Alignment (biology + software); Tutorial & Laboratory for de novo Assembly; RNA-seq, DNA-sequencing.
Note: Students will need to bring their own laptop to this program

Credit
Although no grades are given for BioTech Courses, each participant will receive Continuing Education Units (CEUs) based on the number of contact hours. For this 4-day workshop, 2.8 CEUs will be issued. Upon completion of each BioTech program, a certificate from FAES is issued.
Refund Policy
1. 100% tuition refund is available for registrations cancelled 14 or more days prior to the start of the workshop.
2. 50% tuition refund is available for registrations cancelled between 4 to 13 days prior to the start of the workshop. Instead of a partial refund, you may elect to take a full workshop credit, which can be applied to another BioTech program of similar length.
3. No refund is available for registrations cancelled 3 days or less prior to the start of the workshop. A full workshop credit will be available to you, which can be applied to another BioTech program of similar length.
All cancellations must be received in writing via fax to the FAES office, Attn. Ms. Carline Coote; BioTech Registrar 301-480-2003 during normal business hours (8:30 – 4:30 EST). Those received after hours are time marked for the following day. In the case of situation numbers 2 or 3, you must indicate whether you are opting for the full credit alternative at the time of written cancellation. In both cases, all payments will be processed by the start of the initial workshop.
