The course consists of lectures and hands-on exercises using the graphical Chipster software, so no prior knowledge of NGS analysis or unix is required.

Everybody who comes from the European union area and has no more than 8 years of research experience after obtaining PhD (COST definition for early stage researchers) can apply for a travel bursary.</font></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Tahoma"><font face="tahoma"></font><br>The user-friendly Chipster software (<a href="http://chipster.csc.fi/">http://chipster.csc.fi/</a>) integrates a comprehensive collection of analysis tools for high-throughput data such as NGS, microarrays and proteomics. For more information about the NGS functionality, please see<a href="http://chipster.csc.fi/manual/tools-ngs.html">http://chipster.csc.fi/manual/tools-ngs.html</a>. Chipster also contains a built-in genome browser, allowing users to view reads and results in their genomic context. Users can save their analysis pipelines as reusable automatic workflows, and both workflows and analysis sessions can be shared with colleagues.</font></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Tahoma"> </font></div><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Tahoma"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><br> </div></font></div></div></span></div></div><br></body></html>
