Hello from the Eastcoast!

[hammers13]

Hi,
I am completely new to this field and I began reading a lot about PacBio CCS which would suit my needs best. Any recommendations or ideas how to learn sequence data analysis? I am "physician scientist" and would probably need some kind of seminars or courses. Ideas anyone?
Thanks a lot!

Hello!
I recommend two places to start:
1. The official PacBio landing page for SMRT analysis, all free open-source http://pacbiodevnet.com/
2. There is a new (and amusing) tutorial written by a blogger about PacBio data. http://www.homolog.us/Tutorials/index.php?p=1.1&s=5

SeqAnswers is regularly perused by PacBio technical staff. Also, I am the regional account manager for PacBio, so feel free to email if you would like specific questions answered. More than happy to have one of our local scientists assist you. akieu (at) pacificbiosciences (dot) com
