For most, Next-Generation Sequencing equals to Illumina. This is a mistake!
Staying on top of trends requires far broader view of the sequencing landscape. And this you will get in our course – we will not go deep, we will go broad! In just two days you will get full overview of NGS technologies – and trust us, you would spend ages to do it yourself.
Join our online course from the comfort of your home and go broad with us!
We aim to guide you through the complexity of NGS, covering everything from the inception of individual methods to their practical applications. With a comprehensive exploration of the advantages and disadvantages, details of laboratory sample processing, and in-depth data analysis, you get a view from A to Z.
Day 1 - Short-Read Sequencing Technologies
Who Should Attend?
General information
This event is organized by SEQme company. We are an NGS-service provider with laboratories located in the Czech Republic and serving several hundreds of clients every year.
We organize courses and workshops since 2012. Our team of speakers is comprised of our employees, NGS lab specialists, data analysts and bioinformaticians. For selected events from our portfolio we work together also with our external partners and collaborators, usually bioinformaticians with deep knowledge of particular application-specific pipelines.
