### Practical Course "Omics data analysis for beginners"

This one-week practical course will teach basic skills to perform omics data preprocessing and analysis. We will analyse data generated by the sister course "XXXX" 2 weeks earlier (but participation to the two courses are independent).

In that course, various yeast strains will be sequenced using the Oxford Nanopore "MinION" platform. In the present course, we will process and analyse that data, identify genetic differences between the strains and discuss the biological interpretation of the data.

The course is introductory, i.e., targeted at students with little to no prior experience in using bioinformatics software.

Contents:
- Working with Linux
- Using the command line
- Installing bioinformatics software
- Dealing with big files
- Using aligners (software for sequencing read alignment)
- Inspecting alignment files
- Variant calling, i.e., inferring genetic differences from sequencing data
- Annotating variant-calling results
- Interpreting variant calling data
