Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Detection and Analysis using NGS
Uncover Genetic Variations with Precision: Master SNP Detection and Analysis using NGS
About This Course
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are critical genetic variations that play significant roles in disease research, personalized medicine, and population genetics. This workshop offers an in-depth exploration of SNP detection and analysis using NGS technologies. Participants will learn the principles of SNP identification, the technical aspects of NGS platforms, and the bioinformatics tools required for data analysis.
Throughout the three- day workshop, learners will engage in both theoretical and practical sessions, gaining hands-on experience in preparing samples, running NGS workflows, and interpreting SNP data. The workshop also covers the applications of SNP analysis in various fields such as genomics, pharmacogenomics, and evolutionary biology. By the end of the workshop, participants will be proficient in using NGS technologies for SNP detection and equipped to apply these skills in research and industry settings.
Aim
