Overview

This course offers an overview of good practice in high-throughput experiments (e.g. next-generation sequencing or compound screening). Particularly we focus on pitfalls in the design of projects (e.g. too low sample size or sequencing coverage, or sample batches overlap with biological groups), how to successfully plan an experiment and how to deal with challenges, e.g. batch effects or confounding factors. The workshop addresses the experimental as well as the data analysis components through the complete life cycle of a project, from the initial idea all the way to publication.

Audience

Scientists with all backgrounds (biologists, biochemists, clinicians, bioinformaticians, etc) are welcome to join this course. In particular, those who are about to plan and execute an high-throughput experiment can benefit the most.
