Teaching

Dissertation topics suggested by the teacher.

Requirements:

  1. be able to use a command line.
  2. basic knowledge in programming (python/bash; data need to be mined!).
  3. basic concepts in statistics (results need to be interpreted!)
  4. time to dedicate to the project.


Mining of genome databases for population genomics studies.

  • implementation of pipelines for data and meta-data retrieval.
  • implementation of pipelines for data and meta data curation.

Analysis of NGS sequencing data forpopulation genomics studies

  • dealing with genomic data (up to 56Gb per sample; up to 500 samples).
  • processing of raw data (quality check and Sequence alignment).
  • detection of variant (SNPs, Indels, CNVs, Chromosomal rearrangement).
  • filtering of variants. use of variats for population genomics studies.
