The course is intended for students in the biomedical sciences and researchers who have been given data and don’t know what to do with it or would like an overview of the different genomic data types that are out there.
This course is written for individuals who:
- Have genomic data and don’t know what to do with it.
- Want a basic overview of genomic data types.
- Want to find resources for processing and interpreting genomics data.
Goal of this course:
Equip learners with tutorials and resources so they can understand and interpret their genomic data in a way that helps them meet their goals and handle the data properly. This includes helping learners formulate questions they will need to ask others about their data
What is not the goal
Teach learners about choosing parameters or about the ins and outs of every genomic tool they might be interested in. This course is meant to connect people to other resources that will help them with the specifics of their genomic data and help learners have more efficient and fruitful discussions about their data with bioinformatic experts.
