Adding a few links to resources - background knowledge

[mstagliamonte]

Hi,

After helping to teach this workshop, I realized several students needed some background on how Illumina sequencing works in order to better comprehend the workflow. I would suggest to add a few links for the students to look up in their own time:

Brief overview on paired-end technology:

https://www.illumina.com/science/technology/next-generation-sequencing/plan-experiments/paired-end-vs-single-read.html

Illumina quality phred scores:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASTQ_format

Samtools flagstat quick de-code:

Hope it helps.

Best,
Max
