Specialised Course of Detecting DNA Mutations: Hands-on Variant Analysis Using Galaxy

Learn a practical, end-to-end workflow for DNA mutation and variant analysis using Galaxy, a user-friendly web-based bioinformatics platform. This specialized course covers the key steps involved in processing sequencing data, including quality assessment, read preprocessing, alignment to a reference genome, variant calling, filtering, annotation, and interpretation. Through hands-on exercises with real or representative datasets, participants will develop the skills to identify SNPs, small insertions/deletions (Indels), and other genetic variants and understand how computational results can be interpreted in a biological research context.
