Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) methods have had a large impact on many
biological fields due to a very rapid decrease in cost and throughput.
It often results in hundreds of gigabytes of data. This makes the
downstream analysis very challenging and requires bioinformatics skills.
In this module, we will introduce the most used sequencing technologies
and explain their concepts. Using different datasets, we will practice
quality control, alignment of reads to a reference genome and visualize
the output.
