About
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are among the most significant genetic markers used in genomics for identifying genetic variation. With the rapid growth of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, the ability to detect and analyze SNPs has become essential in medical research, agricultural biotechnology, and evolutionary studies.
This workshop will dive deep into the process of SNP identification using actual NGS datasets, guiding participants through modern computational pipelines. Participants will learn data preprocessing, variant calling using Galaxy tools, visualization using Integrated Genomics Viewer (IGV), and foundational concepts in Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS). Ideal for those looking to transition into genomics, bioinformatics, and precision medicine, the workshop also highlights tools that work on Linux systems and how to set them up via Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
Aim
This 3-day deep tech workshop aims to provide hands-on training in SNP detection using NGS data, familiarize participants with real-world tools like Galaxy and GATK pipelines, and equip them with bioinformatics techniques for variant analysis.
