Title: Next Generation Sequencing Data Analysis

Short abstract: The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) provides great opportunities for many biological applications, including resequencing, variation discovery and typing, transcriptome and protein-DNA interaction. However, analysing NGS data is computationally challenging. This tutorial will cover several important topics in NGS data analysis: mapping, peak detection, SNP and structure variation discovery.
