MMG3202H: Next-Generation Sequencing - Data Generation Laboratory

This course aims to generate next-generation sequencing data. We will prepare whole human genome sequencing experiments to demonstrate the full complexity of the human genome. Students will learn how to do wet-lab work for whole-genome sequencing. After the course, the students will be able to: 1) Consider ethical aspects around planning an experiment involving human subjects; 2) Adhere to laboratory safety practices; 3) Prepare libraries for next-generation sequencing; 4) Perform quality control on DNA samples and libraries; 5) Determine the quality of the whole genome sequencing experiments; 6) Learn laboratory best practices on working with genomic DNA; 7) Learn the power and limitation of current whole-genome sequencing technology.

Traditional Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
