Bioinformatic Conference Alert : BSSGB2012

Conference name : Barcelona Summer School in Genomics and Bioinformatics 2012 (BSSGB2012)

Course title: “Next Generation Sequencing for Population and Medical Genomics”

Time and Venue : September 17th to September 21th 2012, at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona

Aim: Next-generation sequencing technologies have revolutionized genomics research. In this course we aim to familiarize the students with the different NGS technologies and their applications to the study of human genetic variation and disease. The course will cover aspects from technology and informatics to experimental design and data analysis. This course is designed to be of interest for master and PhD students preferentially with a background on human genetics. The course will include theoretical and practical sessions.

Number of participants: 25
