Molecular Biology

An open-minded introduction to the central dogma with an emphasis on the understanding the core concepts and their use of these concepts for problem solving.

Programming for Life Scientists

Practice oriented introduction to the core programming languages in life science; Python, R and Bash. Data Visualization and App development primers are integrated to give you an edge.

Statistics and Probability

Elementary introduction to the theories of statistics and probabilities, as well as a quick advance into practical applications in bioinformatics and computing.

Genomics

Sequence alignment, Genome data pre-processing, genome assembly and annotation, SNP variant calling, GWAS, complex trait analysis.

Transcriptomics

Microarray vs RNASeq, Transcriptome data distribution, Transcriptome data quality control, transcriptome mapping, target enrichment, functional annotation, differential analysis.

Epigenomics

Epigenomics, DNA methylation, Chromatin accessibility, histone modification, bisulfite sequence analysis pipeline, Hi-C data, target enrichment and analysis.

Dataset Integration

Downstream bioinformatics research by integrating NGS datasets. Use of ENCODE, FANTOM, CAGE, UCSC Galaxy and GEO datasets to validate observations.

Here is the plan

Two months with HackBio is worth 2 years on the job. By the end of these two months, you should be confident enough to take on any large scale genome sequencing and NGS analysis projects using state of the art software and techniques.
