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
