## Registration
This course is free of charge, however we ask that you register for the Self-Study learning mode using the registration button below, so we have your details and we can provide you with additional information.

## Pre-requisites
Knowledge: learners should have completed the Prenomics course or be able to successfully complete the self-assessment quiz. Learners are also expected to have some familiarity with biological concepts, including the concept of genomic variation within a population. Please note, you will need to complete the Creating your own instance course beforehand.
Software: view the required software set-up.

## Programme

Topics:
Session 1 - Project management for cloud genomics -
Learn how to structure your data and metadata
Plan for an NGS project
Learn about the benefits of cloud computing
Session 2 - Data preparation and organisation
Learn how to structure your data and metadata
Plan for an NGS project
Learn about the benefits of cloud computing
Session 3 - Assessing read quality; trimming and filtering reads
Trimming and filtering, learn how to filter out poor quality data
Assessing read quality
Session 4 - Finding sequence variants
Understand the steps involved in variant calling
Describe the types of data formats encountered during variant calling
Use command line tools to perform variant calling
Instructors will give a demonstration on how to use the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV), an interactive tool for the visual exploration of genomic data.

## Target audience
- Learners who have completed the Prenomics Course
- PhD Students & Researchers
- This course would be appropriate for learners with experience using the command line, who are expecting to generate a dataset in the future or those who already have a dataset and would like guidance on how to analyse it.

## Learning outcomes
Following completion of this course, learners will be able to
- structure their data and metadata and plan for an NGS project
- organise and document genomics data and bioinformatics workflows
- understand what information is needed by a sequencing facility
- gain practice navigating file systems, creating, copying, moving, and removing files and directories
- use command-line tools to assess read quality and perform quality control
- align reads to a reference genome, and identify and visualise sequence variants
- work with Amazon AWS cloud computing and transfer data between a local computer and cloud resources
