High Throughput Sequencing technologies and bioinformatics analysis

This is the wiki for the courses INF-BIO9120 and INF-BIO5120 offered by the Department of Informatics and the Department of Biosciences at the University of Oslo (UiO).

The course consists of two weeks of lectures and practicals, and a final take-home exam (one week), plus reading material

Both INF-BIO5120 (M.Sc. level) and INF-BIO9120 (Ph.D. level) are 5 study point courses.

Please bookmark this page. All future changes or announcements for the 2013 course will be posted on this page.

Time and place

The course will be offered in weeks 38 and 39, autumn 2013, i.e. September 16 - September 27. Each day, Monday to Friday, will consist of lectures and (mainly) exercises/practical labs between 09:00 and 17:00. Lunch will usually be between 12:00 and 13:00. You will have to bring your own lunch or buy lunch in the local cantina. 

Lecture room: All lectures/exercises will be given in lecture room Cobol [confirmation pending] in Ole-Johan Dahls hus (IFI2). A map showing the location of the building is found here. The building is located next to the Forskningsparken metro and tram stations.

Course description

This two week, intensive course will provide knowledge of high throughput sequencing technologies and hands-on experience with the analysis of data from various sequencing platforms and applications. Control of quantity and quality of data, analysis of small RNA-seq and mRNA-seq, de novo genome assembly, and variant calling.

All students should have a basic understanding of molecular biology, at least roughly corresponding to 5-10 university study points in molecular biology, biochemistry, or similar. If you are uncertain if your biology background is strong enough, please contact Lex or Karin (see contact details below) at least three weeks before the start of the course.

No prior background in bioinformatics or computer science is required, however, we expect students to have a basic understanding of the unix shell. Students without this knowledge need to take the introductory unix course (a day and a half, about two weeks before the course), to be announced later.
