DESCRIPTION:## Overview\n\n\n\nHigh-throughput sequencing (HTS) technology 
 has revolutionized the field of biology\, including genomics\, epigenomics
 \, transcriptomics\, and metagenomics. HTS allows numerous DNA molecules t
 o be sequenced simultaneously\, rather than one at a time\, allowing for u
 nprecedented speed and scale. By generating vast amounts of genetic data r
 apidly and cost-effectively\, HTS allows for the generation of large\, com
 prehensive datasets\, providing deeper biological insights. \n\nIn this 3-
 day course\, we will introduce the most widely used HTS technologies. Usin
 g different datasets\, we will practice quality control\, alignment of rea
 ds to a reference genome and visualize the output.\n\n## Audience\nThis co
 urse is designed for PhD students\, postdoctoral and other researchers in 
 the life sciences from both academia and industry who are already dealing 
 with HTS data and would like to be able to start analysing them. \n\n## Le
 arning outcomes\nAt the end of the course participants should be able to:\
 n* **Distinguish** advantages and limitations of HTS technologies\, includ
 ing their applications in omics\n* **Select** appropriate HTS technologies
  based on experimental design needs\n* **Apply** quality control (QC) meas
 ures to HTS datasets to ensure data integrity and reliability for downstre
 am analysis\n* **Describe** the concept and purpose of sequence alignment 
 and differentiate between global and local alignment strategies\n* **Perfo
 rm** read alignment to a reference genome using appropriate tools\n* **Ana
 lyze** alignment outputs to assess accuracy and **identify** potential iss
 ues\n* **Generate** visualizations of HTS data using tools such as IGV\n* 
 **Evaluate** visualized outputs to **interpret** biological insights and v
 alidate results\n\n## Prerequisites\n### Knowledge / competencies\n\nThis 
 course is part of the [Omics Data Analysis](https://www.sib.swiss/training
 /learning-paths?path=omics-data-analysis) learning path. To get the most o
 ut of this course\, you should meet the learning outcomes of [First Steps 
 with UNIX in Life Sciences](https://www.sib.swiss/training/course/20250902
 _FSWU)\nor the e-learning course [UNIX Fundamentals](https://www.sib.swiss
 /training/course/2012_UNIXF). Upon completion of this course\, you may wis
 h to attend the [Single-Cell Transcriptomics with R](https://www.sib.swiss
 /training/course/ISCTR) and [Introduction to Bulk RNA-Seq: From Quality Co
 ntrol to Pathway Analysis](https://www.sib.swiss/training/course/IRNAS)cou
 rses.\n\nIn case of doubt\, evaluate your Unix skills with this  quiz.\n\n
 ### Technical\n\nYou will need access to a computer. Software requirements
  will be communicated before the course.\n\n## Application\n\n\nRegistrati
 on fees for academics are **300 CHF** and **1500 CHF** for for-profit comp
 anies.\n\nWhile participants are registered on a first come\, first served
  basis\, exceptions may be made to ensure diversity and equity\, which may
  increase the time before your registration is confirmed.\n\nApplications 
 will close on **07/10/2026** or as soon as the places will be filled up. C
 ancellation after **07/10/2026** will not be reimbursed. Cancellation afte
 r this date will not be reimbursed. Please note that participation in SIB 
 courses is subject to our [general conditions](https://www.sib.swiss/train
 ing/terms-and-conditions).\n\nYou will be informed by email of your regist
 ration confirmation. Upon reception of the confirmation email\, participan
 ts will be asked to confirm attendance by paying the fees within **5 worki
 ng days**. \n\n## Venue and Time\nThe course will be streamed.\n\nThe cour
 se will start at 9:00 CET and end around 17:00 CET.  \n\nPrecise informati
 on will be provided to the registered participants in due time.  \n\n## Ad
 ditional information\n\nCoordination: Grégoire Rossier\, SIB Training gro
 up.\n\nA **Certificate of Attendance** will be sent provided you were pres
 ent at the course\, whereas a **Certificate of Achievement** recommending 
 [X] ECTS will be sent provided you passed the exam. \n\nYou are welcome to
  register to the SIB courses mailing list to be informed of all future cou
 rses and workshops\, as well as all important deadlines using the form [he
 re](https://lists.sib.swiss/postorius/lists/courses.lists.sib.swiss/).\n\n
 SIB abides by the [ELIXIR Code of Conduct](https://elixir-europe.org/event
