Objectives

This training is aimed at biologists directly involved in "Next Generation Sequencing" (NGS) projects. This edition of the school will focus on new technological challenges, with three thematic workshops in parallel sessions (bulk RNA-seq, ChIP-seq/ATAC-seq, and genomics variants/GWAS), and will cover data visualization and integration. The school aims to deepen understanding of concepts, manipulate advanced computational tools, and interpret results. It is based on an alternation of short theoretical sessions and practical workshops. Participants will benefit from personalized tutoring to develop their analysis plan and perform the first steps of processing their own data or that of their team. Note: The tutoring is not intended to complete the full analysis of the participants' data.

Target Audience

This training is intended for biologists (engineers, PhD students, researchers, teachers-researchers, practitioners...) who are confronted with NGS data analysis and do not have sufficient bioinformatics skills.

Work Environment

The entire training will be based on the use of the R language.

Prerequisites

Applicants must have acquired the skills taught during the level 1 school, or equivalent: a basic level in R, and (optional) bulk RNA-seq, ChIP-seq/ATAC-seq, or genomics variants.

Registration Modalities

Pre-registration deadline:

March 1, 2025 (participant selection: March 2025). Each year, demand far exceeds our capacity (40 places), so the organizing committee selects participants based on the information provided in the registration form. The maturity level of the scientific project involving sequence data analysis will be one of the evaluation criteria.
