Clinical NGS Data Analysis Workshop 2017 Benelux

Clinical NGS Data Analysis Workshop 2017 Benelux is a one day workshop organized in conjuction with the conference of The Genomic Medicine 2017 Benelux genomics event. The course will provide Next Generation Sequencing Data Analysis training to those working in the wetlab who want to be able to analyse the data and understand the data analysis workflows.The course is led by BRIGHTcore & (IB)2 and will take place on the 14th November in Brussels.

The course will be useful to those working the wet lab who want to learn about bioinformatics workflows so that they can begin to analyse data themselves or keep an overview of the analysis that their own bioinformatic colleagues are providing for them.

Delegate laptops should meet the following minimum requirements by having:

·         Java 7 or 8

·         System requirement: at least 4GB RAM and 10 GB of free hard disc space.

·         Microsoft Excel (English language setting)

·         Internet access (WIFI will be provided at the venue)

·         Windows laptops are preferred as the course instructors have experience with these. Macs are not encouraged for this workshop as they may not be fully supported by the course instructors.

·         Delegates should ideally install FASTQC and IGV (and test if possible) to save time. If not possible, instructions will be provided at the workshop but this could slow down the course slightly.
