EMBO Courses and Workshops

General considerations
- Principles of the SOLiD, Illumina and 454 sequencing technologies - Mapping of short sequence reads to the genome
Transcription factor target analysis with ChIP-Seq
- Chromatin immunoprecipitation of human transcription factors using HEK293T cells - Preparation of ChIP libraries for sequencing on the Illumina Genome Analyzer - Data analysis (identification of DNA-bound regions and transcription factors binding sites)
Transcriptome profiling with RNA-Seq
- Preparation of sequencing libraries for sequencing on the Illumina Genome Analyzer - Data analysis (gene expression levels, novel transcripts, repertoire of alternative splicing events)
Bioinformatics
- Storage, management and analysis of large sequence data sets - Data vizualisation on genome browsers

A more detailed programme outline will be available at a slightly later date.
