Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the core skills to manage “big data” in the genomics era.The course will focus on R programming, basic scripting and data processing. At the end of the course, the student will know the basics on how to use the main command-line tools for files and strings handling within the context of genomics such as DNA sequence files and pedigree files containing information on individual genotypes.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Knowledge of the fundamentals of human genetics

Program

Specifically we aim to furnish the knowledge to:
- work into a Linux environment and bash scripting
- use R and its libraries for bioinformatic analyses (Bioconductor project)
- collect and collate genetic data from diverse sources
- arranging directories, renaming and archiving files
- convert files from one format into another
- prepare pipelines of commands for repetitive tasks (for instance, same analyses over more samples)
- learn the fundamentals of Perl and Python programming (hacking pre-existing programs to accomplish novel tasks)
The topics will be illustrated using real-life bioinformatic case studies (for instance, GWAS, exome or transcriptome analyses)

Didactic methods

The methods adopted for teaching consist of lectures with interaction with students aimed at transmitting the knowledge required by the program on the relevant topics, with in-depth lessons aimed at achieving the objectives of the course.
