As a bioinformatician, the most common request I receive is to analyze sequencing data.  I prepared this seminar focused on the recommendations I would love to have when I’ve started on this path.

Whether you’re working with private or public data, here’s the workflow I always recommend:

✅ Set up a clean project folder from day one

✅ Estimate your file sizes and check storage & compute capacity

✅ Retrieve your raw data (private or public sources)

✅ Run QC — non-negotiable

✅ Launch your NGS pipeline of choice

💡 Pro tip: always run the full pipeline on a single sample first to benchmark time and resources.

If you’re not sure where to begin, let’s talk. Book a free 30-minute call and we’ll design a plan tailored to your data and goals.
