Certificate of Achievement
The course covered NGS sequencing, file formats used, Linux commands for sequence quality control,
mapping, and variant calling. Same tasks were performed using Nextflow, applied to viralrecon pipeline
with data visualization of variants obtained from genomic data as part of the downstream analysis.
