    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the Workshop and Český Krumlov can be found here: http://evomics.org/workshops/faq/
    Workshop Overview:
    The Workshop on Genomics consists of a series of lectures, demonstrations and computer laboratories that cover various aspects of genomics focusing primarily on the analysis of modern sequencing data. Faculty are chosen exclusively for their effectiveness in teaching theory and practice. The course is designed for established investigators, postdoctoral scholars, and advanced graduate students. Scientists with strong interests in the uses of modern sequence data, analytical methods, and the use of modern sequence data to study non-model organisms, variant detection and analysis, genome visualization tools and related areas are encouraged to apply for admission. Lectures and computer laboratories total ~90 hours of scheduled instruction. No programming experience is required.

    Topics to be covered include:
    - Sequencing technologies
    - Genomics study design
    - Manipulation of sequence data using the command-line and quality assessment and control techniques
    - Analyzing genomic data in the “cloud” using Amazon Web Services (AWS)
    - Assembly and alignment: basic analyses used for de novo and re-sequencing studies
    - The use of next-generation sequence data to study non-model organisms
    - RAD (Restriction site Associated DNA) sequence analysis
    - Variant detection
    - Metagenome analysis (with WGS and amplicon)
    - Transcriptome quantification and mapping for expression and gene structure elucidation
    - An introduction to using python and iPython notebook
    - Evolutionary genomics

    Co-directors: Naiara Rodríguez-Ezpeleta, Dag Ahren, Scott A. Handley, Konrad Paszkiewicz, and Karin Rengefors

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
