About this Class

Galaxy is a scientific workflow, data integration, data analysis, and publishing platform that makes computational biology accessible to research scientists that do not have computer programming experience. This workshop will cover exome sequencing data analysis, followed by tutorials showing the use of exome analysis workflow. The hands-on exercise will run on a Galaxy platform using Illumina paired-end exome sequencing data. This workshop will be taught by NCI staff and is open to NIH and HHS staff. 

Participants will have a chance to: independently run basic exome analysis for variant detection, run quality control check on sequencing data, align the sequencing reads to a reference genome, generate alignment statistics and check mapping quality, identify variants, and visualize the exome sequencing data and variants. 

This class is 3 hours and is a mix of lecture and hand-on exercise.
