次世代基因定序與生物資訊

I. Illumina定序科技 II. 定序建庫實驗 III. 生物資訊工具、演算法、檔案格式 IV. 工作坊:新冠病毒變種分析 ‧ 生物資訊分析將是本課程之主軸,佔75%以上的授課時間。 ‧ 學生將由工作坊的形式,實際設置Linux作業環境,並學習操作生物資訊分析軟體。 ‧ 在工作坊中,我們將會分析新冠病毒的定序資料,確認變種株。 ‧ 選修此課不需具備Linux或任何程式語言之基礎。 ‧ 選修此課須具備基本的分生知識,例如DNA、RNA、以及PCR的原理。 ‧ 需自備個人筆電。作業系統不限,Windows、Mac、或是Linux皆可。 ‧ 主要以英語授課。學生可以中文問答討論。 ‧ 由於時間限制,本課程將著重於實務知識,而不深入介紹各演算法之數學理論基礎。I. Illumina sequencing technology II. Sequencing library preparation III. Bioinformatics tools, algorithms, and file formats IV. Workshops: COVID-19 variant analysis ‧ Bioinformatics analysis will be the major focus of this course, accounting for more than 75% of time. ‧ Students will learn to conduct bioinformatics analysis in a Linux environment, via a series of workshops. ‧ In our workshops, we analyze NGS data of COVID-19 and identify the variants. ‧ Prior knowledge of Linux or any programming language is NOT required. ‧ Basic understanding of molecular biology (e.g., DNA, RNA and PCR) is required. ‧ A personal laptop is required. Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems are all acceptable. ‧ This course will be lectured mainly in English. Students are welcomed, but not required, to speak in English. ‧ Due to time constraints, theoretical details of computational algorithms will not be covered in this course.

本課程的目標在於教導學生關於Illumina次世代基因定序之完整且實務的知識,包含定序技術、建庫實驗、以及生物資訊分析。修習完本課程之後,在具有參考基因體序列的前提下,學生將擁有獨立分析Illumina定序資料的能力。The objective of this course is to teach students comprehensive and practical knowledge of Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS), ranging from sequencing technology, library preparation, and bioinformatics analysis. In the end of the course, students will be able to independently analyze Illumina sequencing data on organisms with reference genomes.
