Next- Generation Sequencing
Data Analysis
Next- generation DNA and RNA sequencing has revolutionized biology and
medicine. With sequencing costs continuously dropping and our ability to
generate large datasets rising, data analysis becomes more important than
ever. Next- Generation Sequencing Data Analysis walks readers through next-
generation sequencing (NGS) data analysis step by step for a wide range of
NGS applications.
For each NGS application, this book covers topics from experimental design,
sample processing, sequencing strategy formulation, to sequencing read quality
control, data preprocessing, read mapping or assembly, and more advanced
stages that are specic to each application. Major applications include:
• RNA- seq: Both bulk ...
