We are pleased to invite you to a two-day training course on Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Data Analysis using Galaxy, organized by ecseq bioinformatics for the SaxoCell consortium.
The training combines essential theoretical concepts with guided practical exercises in the browser-based Galaxy environment. Participants will learn how to assess sequencing data quality, map reads to a reference genome, visualize alignments and perform DNA variant analysis.
Training details
- Date: 18–19 January 2027
- Time: To be announced
- Venue: ScaDS.AI, Leipzig
- Trainers: Dr. David Langenberger and Dr. Mario Fasold
- Participation fee: Free of charge for SaxoCell members and partners
Topics covered
- Galaxy essentials: Navigating the interface, managing datasets and histories, and working with analysis workflows
- NGS fundamentals: Sequencing concepts, DNA sequencing (DNA-Seq) and key file formats
- Read quality control: Assessing read quality and preprocessing sequencing data
- Read mapping: Aligning reads to a reference genome and assessing mapping results
- Visualization: Inspecting alignments in a genome browser
- DNA variant analysis: Calling, filtering and interpreting variants in VCF files
The course is designed to provide participants with practical skills and a solid foundation for working with NGS data.
