Enter the jungle, learn some patience and visit paradise city during this three-day course of lectures and practical sessions

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has recently revolutionized the approach to genomic studies enabling the sequencing of billions of bases in massively parallel reactions. These new sequencing technologies collectively referred to as "ultra-deep" sequencing or "massively parallel" sequencing are currently used for SNP discovery, detection of structural variants, genome-wide measurement of transcript levels and a number of other applications, and are revolutionizing biological research.
