2 nd National workshop on
Next Generation Sequencing in Disease Diagnosis & Therapeutic Target Discovery
14th to 18th March 2016
Jointly Organized by
Biomedical Informatics Centre
National Institute of Pathology-ICMR
New Delhi
&
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has brought new paradigm in genomics and transcriptomics data analysis. The application of NGS, mainly through whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and whole-exome sequencing (WES) technologies has produced breakthrough in understanding complexity of genomes including point mutations, small insertions or deletions, copy number alterations and structural variations in disease conditions.
By comparing these alterations to matched normal samples, researchers have been able to distinguish somatic and germ line variants in patient samples. Alongside, the whole transcriptome approach (RNASeq) can quantify gene expression profiles, detect alternative splicing, RNA editing and fusion transcripts. The transformative potential of NGS coupled with Bioinformatics analysis showed immediate impact on clinical diagnostics along with focused research to develop personalized treatment strategy.
