Project 6: Variant calling from NGS data of two accessions of Lablab purpureus

Briefly comment on this issue on why you are interested in this mini-project.

[enezermjema]

I choosing this project as my first option for my mini-project. I have been exposed to research activities related to Viruses that affects crops and their host especially on Cassava crop from IITA and basically this project will give me an opportunity to explore more on the application of bioinformatics in Agricultural related field.

I like the systematic and intelligent approach in processing the NGS data. I have had some hands on experience in handling these type on data but i feel i need to solidify my approach. This project serves as the best platform to do so. The gained experience will help me in my future projects as well. I choose this as my first option.

[winfrednyoroka]

this project is my first choice. I am interested in this project since it begins from raw reads and the fact that it involves short and long read data. this project will solidify my practical skills in variant calling from the two technologies. I will use the knowledge acquired in my research project and reanalyse my previous PGD research project data that involved investigating transmission of Rhinovirus using partial and full length genome sequencing

I would like to choose this project as my preferred option. It entails both short read and long read raw data, this will enhance my knowledge on NGS data. From the data both large structural variants and SNPs shall be investigated hence giving me an opportunity to comprehend variant calling at an advanced level. Since the project entails use of raw data, I believe I will have an opportunity to interact with the data from the quality control step to downstream analysis, thus making it possible for me to apply and integrate workflow languages such as snakemake. Finally, this will prepare me for my MSc. project. Thank you

[JaneNjeri]

I would love to select this mini-project as my first choice as it resonates well with my areas of interest. Calling a variant is one thing, and I would love to learn that, and expound on interpreting a true variant call. Further to be applied in my involvement to the projects in future.

[MosesLuutu]

I would like to choose this option as my first choice, because I plan to apply this at both my work place and in my MSc project. I work at a Molecular biology laboratory as the in-charge of sequencing and recently in addition to the MiSeq, we are planning to procure the Nanopore sequencer. I am currently not well conversant with analyzing NGS data and this option will enhance my knowledge of working with both short and long reads from the Miseq and Nanopore respectively.

[inahereza]

i would like to choose this as my second choice in order to expand on my knowledge of handling NGS data and thus incorporate it in my future project if possible.

[Tendo1434]

Am selecting this as my 1st option for the mini project since it will help expand my knowledge in the computation part of bioinformatics especially analyzing NGS data for both short and long reads. It would also expand my knowledge on how to better make sense out of the results after variant calling since i also plan on doing variant calling as part of my MSc project work.

[dkiberu]

I choose this project as my third choice because it involves utilization of both short and long read sequences and as such I anticipate learning new approaches especially with long reads.
