Galaxy is a scientific workflow, data integration, data analysis, and publishing platform that makes computational biology accessible to research scientists that do not have computer programming experience. This training will introduce ChIP sequencing data analysis followed by a tutorial showing ChIP-seq analysis workflow. This workshop will be taught by NCI staff and is open to NIH and HHS staff.
This class is a mixture of lecture and hands-on exercises. By the end of this class, students will be able to: independently run basic ChIP-seq analysis for peak calling, run quality control on ChIP-seq data, map raw reads to a reference genome, generate alignment statistics and check mapping quality, call peaks using MACS, annotate peaks, and visualize the enriched regions.
