- The video was recorded live during the SIB course “NGS - Genome Variant analysis” streamed on 05-06 September 2023.
Target audience: This course is intended for life scientists who are already familiar with general concepts of NGS technologies and want to expand their knowledge and skills on variant analysis.
Speaker: Dr. Geert van Geest, SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics
The course materials can be found in the dedicated GitHub page (sib-swiss.gith....
Learning outcomes:
Describe the importance of studying variants
Define a DNA mutation
Illustrate the difference between a somatic mutation and a germline mutation
Describe the two major types of small variants: SNPs and INDELs
Explain why SNPs are the most used type of variant for genetic research
Explain what haplotypes are and how they can capture more genetic information compared to single small variants
