How To Learn About Next Generation Gene Sequencing

Question

[Medhat]

Sorry if my question is naive but I want to learn about next generation gene sequencing how to deal with the data output, as most posts about jobs demands "Ability to manage and analyze large biological data sets coming from next generation sequencing" so if you please can any one support me with any online resource , books that I can access to learn about this topic also a source of data to analyze and learn from it, there is a post here in Biostar showing some paper related to the topic can be found here Sequencing technology review papers as there is more? books tutorial etc...

I found also this Wiki Next Generation Sequencing

Resources For Learning How To Deal With Next Generation Sequence?

Your answer is highly appreciated

Relatively up-to-date book:

Bioinformatics for High Throughput Sequencing

Rodríguez-Ezpeleta, Naiara; Hackenberg, Michael; Aransay, Ana M

They use .sra format, which you will have to convert to FASTQ using sra toolkit. Explanation - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK56562/
