Jointly announce a 5 day Training Programme on
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)-Bioinformatics and Data Analysis (2015)
26th - 30th May 2015, Chennai
SCHEDULE & REGISTRATION DETAILS
The advent of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is virtually changing Biology and Medicine. Since the first living organism was sequenced, now we have the full genomes of multiple humans, chimp, chicken, dog, yeast, thousands of bacteria, and hundreds of viruses. Now Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) is focusing on mega projects such as Million Plant & Animal Genomes Project, Million Human Genomes Project and Million Micro-ecosystem Genomes Project. NGS technologies cover diverse application areas such as de novo sequencing, genome resequencing, exome sequencing, ChIP -sequencing, etc. Thanks to the rapid development in technology in recent years, thousands of genomes involving human DNA and RNA sequencing are underway in numerous countries. Some of the major applications of NGS include Diagnostics, Drug discovery, Personalized medicine, Biomarker discovery, Energy, Agriculture and Animal research. The challenge is shifted from 'data generation' phase to 'data management and analysis' phase now. Data management and analysis remains one of the difficult challenges in the next-generation sequencing field in the coming years. The winners are not going to be chosen from the 'who sequenced it first' list but from the list of 'who came up with new ideas and better analysis tools in human healthcare, energy and agriculture'. Broadly the challenge has now shifted from sequencing to extracting knowledge from it for real world applications. This training programme will provide first hand information on NGS and also will be a starting point for entering in this advanced area.

NGS Applications
* Hands on practical in Sequence retrieval, Primary, Secondary and Tertiary level analysis using Human, Plant, Bacteria and Metagenome.
* Live demonstration of whole bacterial genome sequencing (Library preparation to Data analysis) using the ILLUMINA MiSeq platform.
AUDIENCE AND COURSE PLAN
The workshop is targeted towards Graduate and Post-graduate students in Science, Engineering and Technology / Life Science Scientists / Medicine / Pharma, Bioinformatics and Biotechnology Faculty / PhD scholars / PDF's. The presentation will be in a tutorial style and participant's interaction will be strongly encouraged.
For each topic, bird's eye view will be provided in the beginning and a list of tools and databases used also provided. Important tools in each will be demonstrated with few examples. For all categories, exercise will be given to get hands on experience. Course material will be given in the form of CD to each participant.
Course Plan
The course will be conducted in 8 sessions at the AU-KBC Research Centre, Chromepet from 26th - 30th, May, 2015 (Except 29 5 2015)
29 05 2015 ILLUMINA LIVE DEMONSTRATION AT VClinBio, SRMC, Porur.
