The course consists of two parts. The first part presents basic analytical methods and computational approaches for efficient analysis of celene phenomenon sequencing data in the context of human sequencing experiments. In the second part, basic approaches to the analysis of transcriptomic data will be presented. Great emphasis will be placed on tumor genomics and its limitations. The course will seek to close the gap between computer science and genetics and will work with real-life examples from the field of tumor re-sequencing, rare diseases and population-genomic studies.
