General Info

The course will cover fundamentals in BS-seq analysis. The course will also be useful for integrating and visualizing all kinds of genomics data.

There will be theoretical lectures followed by practical sessions where students directly apply what they have learned. The programming will be mainly done in R and unix shell.

The course will be beneficial for computational biologists and experimental biologists who are doing data analysis. We have done similar courses in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Here is a link to an article about the 2015 course.

Duration and Structure

The lectures and practicals will take the up full day (Including 23rd and 25th of May ). Candidates should plan for 9am to 6pm days. A typical day would comprise of lectures followed by hands-on exercises. There will also be additional scientific lectures showcasing application of computational genomics in current research projects.

A computer room with preset workstations will be provided. There will be one afternoon reserved for a social activity.
