Hands-on-Workshop on NGS sample preparation and data analysis: 

18^th-20^th December 2019:  Call for Applications

IBAB is organizing a 3-day hands-on-workshop on Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) from the 18^th to 20^th December 2019. The workshop combines both experimental and computational aspects of NGS. The focus is on (1) the preparation of libraries from poly-A mRNA, with critical discussions and troubleshooting sessions, and quantification and quality control of the libraries prepared and (2) RNA seq data analysis using ‘R’ tools.

Target Participants:  

The course is aimed at researchers, technicians who wish to employ genomic approaches in their work. Ph.D. scholars/postdoctoral fellows/JRFs/faculty involved in relevant research are eligible to apply. The course is beneficial to also those pursuing B.Sc./ B.Tech./ M.Sc./ M.Tech. in Biotechnology/Life Sciences/ Microbiology/ Biosciences/ Bioinformatics who wish to apply NGS technology. Teachers from undergraduate and postgraduate teaching institutions and research institutes across the state of Karnataka are also encouraged to apply to the workshop.

Registration Procedure:  

Interested participants may apply to Dr. Sreekanth Reddy at sequencing@ibab.ac.in with their resume and a one paragraph write-up on how this workshop will be useful to their research.
