Course at EMBL-EBI

Genome bioinformatics: from short- to long-read sequencing

2026

A guide to the technology, analysis workflows, tools, and resources for next-generation sequencing data analysis.

This course will provide insights and training into how biological knowledge can be derived from genomics experiments and explain different approaches in analysing such data. The main focus will be on introducing sequence informatics, re-sequencing, differences between short- and long-read sequencing, and variant calling during the analysis of higher-eukaryotes, with an emphasis on human genetic research. Throughout the week, more advanced topics will introduce the creation of pipelines, automation, and the scaling-up of analysis experiments.

The programme is currently under development. Please see the 2025 iteration for a reference of the potential content of this course.
