Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology is organizing a computational genomics course and R programming will be used for most practical sessions. The course will cover basic statistics, programming and basic concepts in next-generation sequencing as well as it is applications such as RNA-seq and ChIP-seq. There will be practical sessions every day. The course will last 7 days and will be taught at MDC-Berlin campus between 18-24 October 2015.

Course Modules

The course modules are as follows. Almost all modules have practical sessions and participants will have a chance to directly apply what they learned.
– Introduction to R and Bioconductor
– Statistics and Exploratory Data analysis
– Introduction to Next-gen sequencing
– Applications of computational genomics
– RNA-seq analysis
– ChIP-seq analysis
– Data integration and visualization

The instructors

The instructors include high-profile local and external scientists working on computational genomics.
