ChIP Next Generation Sequencing Analysis: Complete A to Z




ChIP Next Generation Sequencing Analysis: Complete A to Z

Did you know that chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is one of the most commonly used techniques when assessing the effect of epigenetic modifications on gene expression and hence cell identity? Traditionally ChIP was combined with polymerase chain reaction (PCR), but with the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS), a far more powerful way to study epigenetic modifications on a genome-wide level is through ChIP followed by sequencing (ChIPseq) which this course is about.

I’m Alexander Abdulkader Kheirallah, PhD and I’ll be your instructor in this course. I have a doctorate in bioinformatics and my project involved analysis of many ChIPseq datasets. My bioinformatic work has been published in peer-reviewed journals. I have worked as a bioinformatician at University of Cambridge and I am also a data scientist. After the success of my first course on RNAseq differential gene expression analysis, I’ve decided to take it further by condensing years of my experience in the form of a concise and practical course about epigenomics and ChIPseq data analysis. The ability to analyse big genomic data gives you a lot of opportunities at the intersection of biology, medicine and computer science.

What makes this course unique is that it combines thorough study of epigenetic biology with deep and practical analytical capabilities.

Not only you’ll gain epigenetic knowledge to aid your ChIPseq analysis endeavors but also you’ll be able to effectively manage your projects, assess their quality, and analyse. You’ll be provided with NGS ChIPseq data and I’ll walk you through the ChIPseq analysis step-by-step.
