Twist announced the addition of four new synthetic SARS-CoV-2 RNA Controls for the development, verification, and ongoing validation of diagnostic tests. The controls include new variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19...

John Theurer Cancer Center (JTCC), at Hackensack Meridian Health Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, and Genomic Testing Cooperative (GTC), Irvine, CA, announced today an agreement to establish a state-of-the-art, next...

When: June 15-19,2020 Where: Berlin, Germany Learn the essential computing skills for NGS bioinformatics Understand NGS analysis algorithms (e.g. read alignment) and data formats Use bioinformatics tools for handling NGS data Perform first downstream analyses for studying genetic variation Compare different approaches for differential expression ...

While there are sophisticated resources available for displaying NGS data, including the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) and the UCSC genome browser, exporting regions and assembling figures for publication remains challenging. In particular, customizing track appearance and overlaying track replicates is ...

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a high-throughput technology widely applied to genome sequencing and transcriptome profiling. RNA-Seq uses NGS to reveal RNA identities and quantities in a given sample. However, it produces a huge amount...

A necessary pre-processing data analysis step is the removal of adapter sequences from the raw reads. While most adapter trimming tools require adapter sequence as an essential input, adapter information is often incomplete or missing. This can impact quantification of ...

Summary: This blogpost is focussed on ribosomal RNA (rRNA) depletion methods frequently applied to improve and economize RNA-Seq experiments. The Rise of RNA-Seq RNA-Seq Overtakes Microarrays The use of Next-Generation RNA Sequencing (RNA-Seq) has recently overtaken that of DNA-based microarrays to ...

Advance your research. Understand RNA-Seq analyses challenges and solve them yourself. When? September 23 – 26, 2019 Where? Leipzig, Germany Link? https://www.ecseq.com/workshops/workshop_2019-05-RNA-Seq-data-analysis In a nutshell Learn the essential computing skills for NGS bioinformatics Understand NGS analysis algorithms (e.g. read alignment) ...

RNA-Seq technology is routinely used to characterize the transcriptome, and to detect gene expression differences among cell types, genotypes and conditions. Advances in short-read sequencing instruments such as Illumina Next-Seq have yielded easy-to-operate machines, with high throughput, at a lower ...

The importance of diversity and cellular specialization is clear for many reasons, from population-level diversification, to improved resiliency to unforeseen stresses, to unique functions within...
