ATGC: NGS - Next Generation Sequencing

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)

Education and dissemination

Next Generation Sequencing projects raise specific issues regarding bioinformatic analyses, and therefore require dedicated and still relatively new procedures. We actively participate in education and dissemination of information about NGS bioinformatics. The aim is to present synthetically the analysis procedures, their scope, limitations, but also their pitfalls, and to increase awareness on how these influence the interpretation of results.

We are involved in setting up workshops, conferences, and events about NGS bioinformatics that vary in scope, audience and scientific context. A list of past events is given below.
