Project: Variation calling challenge, 2 ECTS, 4*2 hours
You are given reference genome A and simulated short read data D from genome B. Genome B is
variant of A with some simulated SNPs, and short and large indels. The task is to reconstruct B'
from A and D such that B' is as close to B as possible. The closeness is measured by the alignment
score of B’ and B; the alignment is produced by projecting the alignment of B’ to A, given by
you, to the alignment of B’ to B through the original generated alignment of A to B. You can use
any tools available to produce sequence B’ and its alignment to A.
Dataset is provided by the lecturer. Project lasts 4 weeks and it can be done in small teams.
Guidance is offered 2 hours per week.
This class will be given in English.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
