SEMINARIO NOVOGENE – Harness the power of NGS: Discover its applications in genomics and transcriptomics
DATE: November, 14th
TIME: 12:00
VENUE: Conference Hall CICA
DNA sequencing allows us to unravel the exact sequence of nucleotides within a DNA molecule, unlocking some of the fundamental secrets of life itself while RNA-Seq (RNA-sequencing or transcriptome sequencing) examines the quantity (quantification) and sequences (isoform identification) of RNA using various sequencing technologies. DNA & RNA sequencing have wide range applications and have played a pivotal role in expediting biological and medical research, establishing them as vital tools for both research and diagnostics. The technique is now more accessible than ever, thanks to the incredible advancements in different sequencing platforms for long- and short- read sequencing.
This session will serve to:
- the array of technological platforms available, including Illumina, PacBio, and Oxford Nanopore.
- Guide you through the principles of DNA-Seq and RNA-Seq (including mRNA-Seq, lncRNA-Seq, circRNA-Seq, small RNA-Seq and whole transcriptome sequencing applications) for all sort of organisms.
- Introduce some sequencing and bioinformatic analysis services used to target DNA and RNA for genomic, epigenomic and transcriptomic studies.
This seminary will be leading by Anna Estela Bolta, PhD of Biological Sciences at Valencia University. Currently, she is working as “Account Manager” at Novogene Europe, a leading provider of genomic services and solutions with cutting edge NGS and bioinformatics expertise and the largest sequencing capacity in the world
Novogene was founded in 2011 and has been growing rapidly over the past few years, and has genomic sequencing labs in the US (at The University of California at Davis campus), the UK (Cambridge) , Germany , China, Singapore, and Omics CORE in Japan.
