Genomics & Transcriptomics Training

Genomics and transcriptomics training — quality control, alignment, variant calling, RNA-seq differential expression, and pipeline workflows.

What is Genomics & Transcriptomics Training?

This programme walks you through the full pipeline from raw NGS reads to biological insight. You learn the quality checks, alignments, variant calls, and differential-expression analyses that real genomics and transcriptomics projects depend on.

What you will learn

Read quality control with FastQC and read trimming with Trim Galore / fastp
Reference-genome alignment using BWA / Bowtie2 (DNA) and HISAT2 / STAR (RNA)
Variant calling with GATK or bcftools, plus filtering basics
RNA-seq quantification (featureCounts, Salmon) and differential expression (DESeq2)
Common file formats — FASTQ, SAM/BAM, VCF, GFF/GTF
Building reproducible pipelines and basic command-line discipline

Who this is for

Students of bioinformatics, biotechnology, genetics, life sciences, and computational biology. Strong base coursework in molecular biology helps; comfort with the command line accelerates everything but is not a hard prerequisite.

What you take away

NTHRYS training certificate detailing genomics / transcriptomics scope
A reproducible mini-pipeline on a real dataset
Hands-on familiarity with industry-standard NGS tools
A precise profile for genomics, bioinformatics, and computational biology roles
