A workshop was held in Cell Therapy Center
about Next Generation Sequencing for Genomics Research on 15th of November .The
objective of this workshop is to discuss the basic principles of genomic
science and NGS technologies, demonstrate procedures and applications of the
two platforms, and explore paths for research and training using the NGS
techniques.
Workshop Discussion
Topics :
Fundamental principles and basic
techniques of molecular- and genomic-based approaches for disease detection and
characterization;
Major NGS platforms and
functional features, with emphasis on Ion Torrent PGM and Illumina MiSeq;
Research and collaboration
procedures and logistical planning;
Near term and long term vision
for research, training, and collaboration.
