Performing extensive analysis on Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), mostly on raw data of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). Processing, converting and merging, pair ended raw DNAseq data using SAMtools and Picard. Mapping massive raw reads against reference genome using (Burrows-Wheeler Aligner) BWA. Tuning experimental parameters and thresholds to extract high quality analysis ready data. Applying rigorous filtering on mature data to minimize false positives and to reduce… Show more Performing extensive analysis on Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), mostly on raw data of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).
