International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw would like to invite you to NGSchool2016: Summer School in Bioinformatics [&] NGS Data Analysis that will be held on August 14-21, 2016 in Dolný Smokovec, Slovakia.

The course consists of series of lectures and hands-on workshops, covering various aspects of Computational Biology, focusing on state-of-the-art techniques related to Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and its application in research, health-care and industry.

Summer School in Bioinformatics [&] NGS Data Analysis (NGSchool2016) is mainly addressed to students and researchers in early stage of their careers. Nevertheless, we invite also more advanced researchers to apply.

Registration is opened till 1 July.

NGSchool2016 will cover wide range of topics:

  • introduction to Linux and Bioinformatics focusing on NGS-related analyses
  • general handling of NGS data:
    - data formats (FastQ, SAM, BAM)
    - Quality Control
  • de novo genome [&] transcriptome assembly
  • gene prediction and functional annotation
  • detection of SNPs [&] SVs (deletions, duplications, inversions, translocations)
    - protection of functional effects of detected variants
  • RNA-Seq [&] differential expression analyses
  • bisulphite sequencing, ChIP-Seq [&] Hi-C data analysis
  • GWAS [&] integration of molecular data
  • applications of NGS in biomedicine
