This course will introduce participants to methods and approaches for analysing genomic data from common livestock species. It will guide participants through understanding the theory of next generation sequencing methods, and how these are applied in the field of livestock genomics. Over the course participants will learn about resequencing genomes, locating variant data, annotating a genome sequence using transcriptomics data and how to begin ascribing function to genes and genomic regions. The content will also explain how to make use of existing public data, submit and share your discoveries with the community and draw on relevant use cases in the field.
