Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques allow for the massively parallel sequencing, allowing for the generation of millions short reads. We'll go over emulsion PCR , along with polony and 454 sequencing and more!

Learn about the most common file formats used in Bioinformatics. This lesson will cover FASTA, FASTQ, SAM, BAM, BED and more!

Learn how Pairwise Alignment is performed to compare two different sequences of DNA or proteins. This lesson covers sequence homology, scoring matrices, and algorithms used for local / global alignments.

Learn about the Linux Command Line, which is the platform for many bioinformatics analysis tools and programs.

Learn about shell scripting, which is used to create bioinformatics analysis pipelines and manipulate text files.

Learn how to edit files at lightning speed with Vim!
