Sequencing technologies (4 of 5)
Channel: SIB - Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics
Date: 16/01/2023

The video was recorded live during the SIB course “NGS - Quality control, Alignment, Visualisation” streamed on 21-23 November 2022. 

It introduces you to the most used sequencing technologies and explain their concepts. Using different datasets, we will practice quality control, alignment of reads to a reference genome and visualize the output. 

The course materials can be found in the dedicated GitHub page: https://sib-swiss.github.io/NGS-introduction-training/ . 

This video contains information on how to: 

- Describe the major applications of next generation sequencing 
- Reproduce the most frequently used sequencing methods 
- Describe the major steps taken during library preparation for Illumina sequencing 
- Explain why the length of the sequencing reads of Illumina sequencing are limited 
- Describe the general methods used for Oxford Nanopore Sequencing and PacBio sequencing 

Target audience: PhD students, post-docs and researchers in life sciences who are doing bioinformatic analyses and want to get introduced to containers. 

Speaker: Dr. Geert van Geest, SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics
