Date: 10 - 14 June 2024

These series of webinars and tutorials aim at improving basic and
applied knowledge associated with next-generation sequencing (NGS)
technologies and their applications in the field of Tuberculosis (TB).

Keywords: Galaxy, NGS, one-health, training, tuberculosis

Learning objectives:

  • Be able to read and interrogate a phylogeny encountered in the literature
  • Calculate pairwise SNP distances between MTB samples
  • Create a SNP alignment
  • Familiarize yourself with the basics of Galaxy
  • How can we predict drug resistance from those variants
  • How do we annotate those variants
  • How should we filter those variants
  • Identify transmission clusters based on SNP distances
  • Learn how histories work
  • Learn how to create a workflow
  • Learn how to extract and run a workflow
  • Learn how to obtain data from external sources
  • Learn how to run tools
  • Learn how to share a history
  • Learn how to share your work
  • Learn how to upload a file
  • Learn how to use a tool
  • Learn how to view histories
  • Learn how to view results
  • Study the emergence and spread of drug resistance based on transmission analysis.
  • Understand the basic concepts behind phylogenetic trees, as applied to Mycobacterium tuberculosis
