Norwegian Sequencing Centre announces a course in basic HTS applications and bioinformatics, and a one-day seminar
The Norwegian Sequencing Centre is organizing two events at the end of October:
- A course in basic applications and bioinformatics analysis of High Throughput Sequencing data Oct 25-27.
The course has two independent components:
REGISTRATION DEADLINE is October 3rd. For more information on the course, and for applying to participate, visit http://www.sequencing.uio.no/events/2011/nsc_course_2011.html
- an introduction to High Throughput Sequencing (afternoon of Tuesday the 25th)
- two days of application specific sessions (Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th). Each application specific session will last for two days and applicants must thus pick which one they wish to follow:
- variant calling (SNPs, indels and structural variation)
- de novo genome assembly
- A one-day seminar titled “High-throughput Sequencing – Applications and Analyses”
Time and place:
Oct 28, 2011 10:00 AM - 03:45 PM, Auditorium 1, Helga Engs hus, Blindern Campus, University of Oslo
*No pre-registration required*
