Genotyping on High Throughput Sequencers: Preparation and Analysis of Reduced Representation Genomic Libraries

This portion of the workshop will cover two areas: bioinformatics and case studies. In the bioinformatics section we will discuss sample tracking, the nature of the sequence data generated, quality control steps, the basic informatics pipeline (with or without reference genomes), and the necessary software and hardware. The case study section will provide real life examples of results from work using reduced representation libraries (GBS or RAD) in a wide variety of species and answering a various assortment of research questions.
