Next Generation Sequencing Data Analysis Using Immunome Data |
Held in conjunction with Emerging Role of Next Generation Sequencing in Clinical Genomics 02 Nov 2017, at 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM in Mumbai Yash Shrivastava, Chief Operating Officer, Biodiscovery Group INTRODUCTION The completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003 ushered in a new era of rapid, affordable, and accurate genome analysis—called Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). NGS builds upon “first generation sequencing” technologies to yield accurate and cost-effective sequencing results. The biggest advances in genome sequencing have been increasing speed and accuracy, resulting in reduction in manpower and cost. This speed is because of high throughput next generation sequencing. NGS is characterized by improved accuracy and speed, but also reduced manpower and cost. There has never been a time where it has been as cheap, convenient, or straightforward to sequence a genome. Arguably, the biggest improvement has been the development of parallel analysis, which increased the sequencing speed. This 1 day training course will focus on the use of efficient technologies used in the next generation sequencing data analysis using Immunome data, the first step in a bioinformatics pipeline for analysing NGS data is usually to align the reads to a reference genome in addition to inferring the genomic start position of the reads, provide additional information such as the mapping quality scores (mapQ), and possibly also indicate which parts of an alignment may be affected.
