Our courses can be organized in your lab and their agenda tailored exactly to your needs.
You will get acquainted with various formats of NGS data, you will learn about specific advantages and disadvantages of used sequencing technologies and how to deal with them, and you will understand the background of individual processes used to modify NGS data. After this three-day workshop, you will not become a bioinformatician, but you will be well on your way to becoming a qualified partner for bioinformaticians in your team.
Metagenomics is the study of genetic material obtained directly from environmental samples. This is useful when trying to understand what microbes are present in a sample and what they do in a particular environment. In our workshop you will learn how to process metagenomic data ranging from quality control, filtering, assembly / clustering to taxonomic classification, functional classification and comparative metagenomics.
We are again inviting you to join our data analysis workshop which covers all basic steps of Next-Generation sequencing data analysis. This five day computationally-intensive workshop focuses on quality control, sequence editing, read mapping and alignment. Additionally, this year we will pay a special attention to RNASeq data analysis. You will be briefly introduced into the Linux operating system and in this environment you will analyze sequencing data using various publicly available tools.
This workshop is especially suitable (not only) for users of Illumina instruments, for example instrument operators from diagnostic laboratories, for whom the ease of use not only of the tools provided by the manufacturer and fast data processing leading to quality outputs are essential in their daily routine. Furthermore, it is extremely suitable, for example, for application or sales specialists from companies that supply NGS-based diagnostic kits and from whom their clients - diagnostic…
We present you with our workshop on NGS data visualization using R. The reason of choosing the R language is not only because its computing power, but also because it is perfect for plotting various scientific data, not only NGS. You will learn the basics of R, how to become proficient in data handling and the principles of data analysis. All this enables you to learn the power of R for data visualization, including making all the most common plots used in NGS publications, and even more.
The aim of the course is to help you gain a basic orientation in technologies, principles, concepts and possibilities of using Next-Generation sequencing (NGS). Emphasis is placed on mastering the ability of independent effective planning of NGS experiments and basic evaluation of results. We will discuss the whole topic comprehensively from A to Z in context.
Detection and identification - so-called variant calling in sequencing data is in principle a simple matter, which in practice is far from simple and the distinction between real variant (mutation) and experimental error requires sophisticated computational and / or heuristic techniques. In our workshop you will learn exactly these procedures.
Real-Time PCR training to make you trust your machine, your data and your operating procedures. The fastest way to use this technique effectively. Any Real-Time PCR instrument - Applied Biosystems, Bio-Rad, Corbett Research, Roche, Stratagene/Agilent, Eppendorf, Illumina, Qiagen etc. Duration: 1-2 days or as neededIn Czech or English, in your lab
Training for current or new instrument / software users. In your lab, using your instrument and software versions. You will get exactly the information you need. Sequencers / genetic analyzers Applied Biosystems 310, 3100, 3130/xl, 3500/xl, 3730/xl. In Czech or English, 1-3 days or as need be. On a one-time basis or regularly in labs maintaining highest standards of training of personnel. Expert training for expert users.
