This online course offers a beginner-friendly introduction to modern DNA sequencing technologies and their analysis. It starts with an overview of key sequencing methods, with a special focus on Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) — a powerful approach for studying genetic variations in coding regions of the genome.

Participants will learn the basic workflow of DNA-Seq analysis, from raw data processing to variant calling and interpretation. The course also covers essential tools and file formats used in DNA-Seq analysis, such as FASTQ, BAM, VCF, and tools like BWA, GATK, and IGV.

A guided hands-on session will walk learners through a simplified WES analysis pipeline, providing practical experience in handling sequencing data. This course is ideal for students, researchers, and professionals looking to build a foundational understanding of DNA sequencing and analysis.

No prior experience with sequencing analysis is required, though basic knowledge of molecular biology is recommended.
