Bioinformatics, Statistics and R for Next Generation Sequencing Data Analysis


11.12-15.12. 2017. | Biocentre, Zagreb, Croatia

Applications Closed before:




General Information

    Life science has become an increasingly quantitative discipline relaying on high-throughput methods for collecting genetic information. These methods are collectively named the next-generation sequencing technologies and their "trademark" is vast quantities of generated information. As such they require a specific set of skills in order to be analysed and interpreted properly.
    The aim of this course series is to fill the information gap between bench scientists, medical professionals and data they work with. To provide an overview of strategies, methods and best-practice guides for quick and professional analyses.

    The courses are limited to 15 participants and will be filled on a first-come first-serve basis, so we suggest to register early and secure your place at one or both courses. Participants who register for both courses get a discounted price: -10% and an additional -5% for any registration made before the 15th of November, 2017.
