Itinerary

9-9:30 (Lecture) - Into to Short read mapping and different data types: ChIP-seq (TF, H3K27?), DNA-seq, (GRO-seq)* 9:30-10:15 (Follow-along) - Read mapping of different data files using salloc (BWAmem, samtools) and SLURM 10:15-10:45 (Independent) - Coffee & Problem Set 1 (Choose files from directory, make edits to scripts so they work, map and convert to bam) 10:45-11:15 (Follow-along) - Download processed data from Cedar to local machine (OR Mount Cedar** Something to discuss) 11:15-11:30 (Lecture) - Next steps you could take with this data, including pointing to job scripts that can handle peak calling (bedtools —> HOMER) or variant calling (Picard —> GATK) 11:30-12:00 (Independent) - Problem set 2 (Play with some of the other downstream processing steps on the data you started with)

NOTES:

Extra Problemset Examples: ChIP-seq: How many peaks are there for __ TF? How many peaks are there in
