Courses

The DNA Technologies and Expression Analysis Cores are committed to providing instruction in and information about the latest techniques used here by the Cores and the scientific community at large. We have run chromatin immunoprecipitation workshops and lately have also been organizing workshops in library preparation for Illumina sequencing. New workshops are announced through the dnatech_news mailing list.  Please subscribe to our newsletter.

 

Oct 29-30, 2013 - Next Gen Sequencing Technology and Sequencing Library Prep Workshop

  • by Lutz Froenicke

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized the way that we address complex biological questions. As sequencing output rapidly increases and experimental scales get bigger, library preparation becomes one of the major bottlenecks for NGS. This course provides a comprehensive hands-on training on how to prepare high quality libraries for Illumina HiSeq2500 and MiSeq sequencing platforms. Participants are encouraged to bring their own total RNA template and, by the end of the course, will have a library ready for NGS sequencing.

Sept. 10-11, 2013 - Next Generation Sequencing Technology and Sample Preparation Workshop

  • by Lutz Froenicke

Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies allow laboratories to do genome-wide research that was previously only possible at large genome centers. Participants will learn key concepts and applications of major sequencing technologies (Illumina, 454, SOLiD, Ion Torrent & PacBio) including technology basics, technology-specific error modes, experiment design considerations, common data analysis workflows (like RNA-Seq, genome assembly, ChIP-Seq, SNP- and other variant discovery, etc.) and associated IT concerns.
