Overview

Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have resulted in a big deluge of data. Researchers are learning that analysing such data is becoming the bottleneck in their work. Whether well-established analysis pipelines or new ones are used, all analysis steps should be repeatable and any changes made to the data should be recorded so that the provenance of the results is clear and inferences are reproducible.

This once-day course will focus on best practices of reproducibility in the analysis of data obtained by NGS, from the computational point of view.
The following topics will be discussed:

  • reproducibility of research results in an evolving informatics and computational environment
  • reproducibility issues specific to NGS analysis
  • free available tools which could help in improving reproducibility of NGS analysis
  • Galaxy: an example of integrated environment for reproducible NGS analyses

Audience

This course is addressed to researchers concerned by the reproducibility of their NGS analysis results.

Learning objectives

At the end of the course participants should:

  • know the main issues related to the reproducibility of computational analysis
  • choose within a list of tools, the ones more suited to improve reproducibility of NGS analysis results
  • run a simple workflow with Galaxy

Prerequisites

Knowledge / competencies:

Participants should be familiar with Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis techniques and software.

Technical:

Participants should bring their own laptop.
