Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Detection and Analysis Workshop

Decode Genetic Variation—From Raw Reads to SNP!

Skills you will gain:

About Program:

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.

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.

Program Objectives:

  • Understand the principles and significance of SNPs in genomics
  • Perform hands-on SNP identification using real-world NGS data
  • Use bioinformatics tools like Galaxy, IGV, and GATK for variant analysis
  • Learn data preprocessing and quality control of NGS reads
  • Explore SNP databases and interpret results for downstream applications
