Description

This practical illustrates steps that can be undertaken to assess the quality of the sequencing data. We will start from the fastq files and assess their quality in respect to potential contamination and technical artifacts.

Aims

The aim of this practical is to get familiar with performing quality control on sequencing data both for RNA-Seq and for ChIP-Seq.
