NGS Glasgow: Application and Data Analysis: Conference & Workshop 2015
April 21 - 23, 2015
グラスゴー , 英国
NGS 2015 Glasgow, the fourth biannual UK Next Generation Sequencing Conference from Biotexcel, will take place on 22nd & 23rd April and be preceded by a one day NGS Bioinformatics Workshop on 21st April. This event comes in partnership with the NHS West of Scotland Genetics Service and the University of Glasgow’s Polyomics research facility and will be held in the heart of Glasgow city centre.
As with previous events we will again bring together key opinion leaders from NGS clinical diagnostic labs as well as those from research backgrounds so that our virtual ideas hub continues to flourish and act as a catalyst to help develop collaborations. This year will see a strong focus on Bioinformatics with an entire day dedicated to a workshop that will be run at the University of Glasgow and cover the steps from raw NGS data all the way to Assembly (eg, raw data, QC, mapping of reads, visualising DNAseq and RNAseq data, understanding the workflows).
In addition to bioinformatics we will take a look at wet lab QC issues involving the variable parts of the workflows as well as the newer application areas that are being performed or trickling through to diagnostic labs. Panel debates will allow our experts and attendees to discuss many issues of interest such as the benefits of exome sequencing versus whole genome sequencing and more, so please continue to take a look at the agenda as it develops and let us know if you would like to see issues discussed that are of concern to you.
