Sequencing

VEPTC2018 will held at NUMed, (only 25 Km to Singapore). The course will be a mix of theory and practice presented by invited expert speakers and a few abstract-selected participant contributions.  Discussions and workshops will also be organised for delegates to interact and engage with hands-on practical workshops. Practical sessions will be a mix of academic and commercial demonstrations giving course participants hands-on experience with computational analysis tools. Suited for people working in a DNA laboratory including clinical diagnostic labs involved in DNA sequencing data analysis.  Participants are expected to bring their own laptop. See website for details.

The focus of the course is on clinical diagnostics using exome/genome sequences, variant identification and analysis including afternoon practical sessions. NGS technologies currently allow efficient sequencing of complete human genomes​ ​ which​​ ​have an enormous impact on diagnostic centres replacing many existing molecular and cytogenetic tests. More and more single gene sequencing is replaced by gene panel sequencing, whole exome sequencing (WES) and whole genome sequencing (WGS). This course aims to prepare all the community relevant to this field for innovations in molecular testing. There are VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF PLACES AVAILABLE!

Quantitative Genomics 2018 is a one-day conference for early-career researchers and graduate students, bringing together researchers from around the world, working at the forefront of mathematical and statistical genomics. Register, submit an abstract (optional) to present your work, and discuss the hottest topics in the field in an informal environment that is ideal for building lasting networks.
