Main focus is functional genomics

    • large-scale transciptional reprogramming
      in response to diverse stimuli
    • Encode consortium collaborator
    • work in human and yeast


Research methods include
  • microarrays (Dr. Iyer was co-inventor)

Image Added

  • high-throughput sequencing (since 2007)
    • especially ChIP-seq, RNA-seq
    • also miRNA-seq, RIP-seq, MNase-seq ...
    • have ~2,000 NGS datasets

Solution sections will contain the commands so that you could copy-and-paste them if you have to. They will represent one method of answering the question – but there are often many ways to skin a cat!

Course goals

  • Hands-on, tutorial style – learn by doing
    • common bioinformatics tools & file formats
  • Introduce NGS vocabulary
    • both high-level view and practice with specific tools
  • Cover the NGS basics
    • the first few things you'll do after receiving raw sequences
      • raw sequence preparation
      • alignment to reference
      • basic alignment analysis
  • Understand and practice required skills
    • Get you comfortable with Linux and TACC – your best "frenemies"
    • Make you self-sufficient enough in 4 days to become experts over time
    • Show some "best practices" for working with NGS data
