# NGS Introduction Course
This repository contains lectures and practicals for a one day introduction to
NGS data analysis.

## Organisation
There are two submodules on which this repository depends.

- **[presentation](https://git.lumc.nl/j.f.j.laros/presentation)** template for presentations in LaTeX.
- **[presentation-pics](https://git.lumc.nl/humgen/presentation-pics)** repository containing pictures.

The **website** directory is for storing the compiled presentations, handouts
and program. A *Trac wiki markup* file contains the website content. Uploading,
updating and adding attachments can be done easily with the
[tracwiki](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tracwiki) program.

## Usage
After cloning this repository, fetch the data from the submodules by issuing the
following two commands:

    git submodule init
    git submodule update

([More on Git submodules](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Submodules))

A new presentation can be added like this:

    cd presentation
    bash mkpres.sh ../mypresentation

Pictures in the presentation can be made available by adding a symbolic link to
the presentation-pics repository.

    ln -s ../presentation-pics/pics/somepicture.png

The Makefile will take care of converting this picture to the correct format.
