Course Overview
We will be meeting daily in NEWROOM http://www.utexas.edu/maps/main/buildings/mez.html. If you have any trouble finding the room or building, please check your email for contact information and directions.

- Teach you different ways next generation sequencing libraries are constructed, and the advantages/disadvantages associated with the different types.
- Familiarize you with how the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) can be used to simplify and speed up your data analysis.
- Teach you the basics of read mapping in both individuals and populations, and identifying variants within individuals and rare variants within populations.
- Provide reference materials covering a breadth of material sufficient to give you a starting point of where to begin you own data analysis, and enough experience that you can begin that analysis on your own.

I think it important to acknowledge a great deal of help with creating these web pages and materials from previous instructors of the Intro to NGS Bioinformatics course taught in 2013 and the Genome Variant Analysis Course taught in 2014-2016. Two individuals warrant special mention, the former director of the GSAF Scott Hunicke-Smith, and Jeffrey Barrick were the driving force behind this class for a number of years, and many of the tutorials presented here were originally developed by them or adapted from their work. |
Course Schedule
Tuesday, May 28th. Day 1 – "The Basics"
Presentation: General Course Introduction

Presentation: Experimental Design
Tutorial: Evaluating raw sequencing data
Wednesday May 29th. Day 2 – "Principles of Variant calling"
Presentation: Read Mapping

Thursday May 30th. Day 3 – Visualization and User specific tutorials
Presentation: Errors - where do they come from and how do we identify them as noise rather than signal?
Bonus Presentation: Alternative Library Prep Methods - for when errors really do matter.
Tutorial: Visualization: Bacterial genome variants the easiest way – breseq
Tutorial: Visualization: Integrated Genome Viewer Tutorial
At this point in the course, you have the basic tools that will help you regardless of what type of research you are involved in. The remainder of the course is full of topics that are more specific to different research areas. They are divided into broad categories to help you decide which ones you want to complete during the remaining time. If you are unsure just ask and I'll help identify ones which may be more applicable to your work.
Bacterial Centric Tutorials
Tutorial: Advanced Breseq
Tutorial: Evaluating Error Correction Using Breseq
Human and Higher Eukaryote Centric Tutorials
Tutorial: Human Trios Analysis
Tutorial: Annovar Analysis
Tutorial: Comparing Multiple samples
Method based Tutorials that may be of help regardless of sample type
Tutorial: Genome Assembly
Tutorial: Exome Capture Metrics
Tutorial: Error Correction (Molecular Indexing)
Friday May 31st. Day 4 – User specific tutorials (continued) and TACC the normal way
The first half of today's class will be done as a continuation of tutorials that you are most interested in. As was the case yesterday, choose your own tutorial, and please don't hesitate to ask what tutorials would be good for you to be working on given your data! After the break, we will be go over a brief review to put things back in prospective and give you a tutorial on how to do things the 'normal way' on TACC which means using the job submission system and commands files before giving you the rest of the time to go through tutorials and ask any remaining questions.
