WGS Masterclass: Variant Calling & Genome Assembly Pipelines- recorded course

About this course

The WGS Masterclass: Variant Calling & Genome Assembly Pipelines (Recorded Course) at Dr. Omics Edu is a self-paced, recorded online course in NGS and genomics data analysis. It covers the two main WGS routes, reference-based variant calling and de novo genome assembly. The lessons are already filmed, so you start the day you enrol, with no cohort, timetable or session to miss, and you finish with a genomics analysis taken from raw reads to interpreted results that you can show to an employer, a guide or an admissions panel.
In this course you move through whole genome sequencing concepts and data, quality control and read alignment and variant calling and filtering, then apply them in a hands-on project. The recorded lessons are organised in 1 module, so you can pause, replay and move at whatever speed suits you. It is open to learners at every level.

What you will learn

Whole genome sequencing concepts and data
Quality control and read alignment
