Next generation sequencing bioinformatics
20 June 2012 - One-day session
This one-day course is aimed at researchers and scientists from the NHS, academia and industry who require an introduction to the analysis of next generation sequencing (NGS) data.
Delegates will learn about the different approaches to analysing data from the main NGS platforms. The course will cover topics on proprietary software, third-party systems and open-source applications. It will also address the current challenges for IT infrastructure, data transfer, processing and storage.
This course is being delivered by Nowgen in partnership with Genomatix, a company offering both hardware and software solutions to NGS analysis.
