Next Generation Sequencing, an Overview of Technologies, Applications, and Analysis StrategiesIf you are confused by the evolving, rapidly changing, and dynamic nature of the Next Generation Sequencing market, then this is the course for you.Click here for more information
A Practical Guide to Choosing the Right SNP Detection ToolThere is an urgent need for the NGS community to be able to make the right choice from available SNP detection tools. We have used exome-seq data to evaluate the quality of SNP calls from selected discovery tools from both academic and commercial products. We compared the quality of SNP calls from selected tools side by side and assessed their global quality by checking for Mendelian inheritance inconsistencies within the SNP calls of family members and by using the SNP array data from the same samples.Click here for more information
Gene Sequence to Gene FunctionSequencing of whole genomes is advancing exponentially. While these genome sequencing efforts reveal the basic building blocks of life, a genome sequence alone is insufficient for elucidating biological function.Click here for more information
Developing and Managing Your NGS PipelineManaging and developing a successful NGS pipeline includes pre-sequence planning; experimental design, sample procurement, DNA/RNA sample preparation; the sequence platform runs; and post-sequence data analysis, management, and storage.Click here for more information
Start-to-Finish Analysis of a Multi-Assay Next Generation Sequencing StudyIn this workshop, we present a comprehensive start-to-finish of a multi-assay NGS study. The data comes from 8 breast cancer cell lines; each assayed using the Illumina GA including DNA, small RNA, RNA, and bisulfite methylation sequencing.Click here for more information
Cloud Computing DVD This course will cover real-world use cases across drug discovery & design, collaboration, next generation sequencing, proteomics, software as a service, and bioinformatics, to explore how life sciences are using cloud computing, its challenges and effectiveness, how money can be saved by an organization, and regulatory compliance.
