Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques have brought a revolution to genetic research. They have opened up possibilities to address research questions which for scientists of the past would have been unimaginable. In the meantime NGS has become an essential tool in many research fields, e.g., de-novo genome sequencing, comparative genomics or gene expression and gene regulation studies.
We invite you to take part in this seminar to hear about the latest NGS developments for a broad range of biological applications.

Next Generation Sequencing
The state-of-the-art Next Generation Sequencing facilities and technology within Wageningen University & Research offers a broad range of technologies including illumina HiSeq & MiSeq, Pacbio Sequel, 10XGenomics, Oxford nanopore and Bionano Genomics. These can be applied to a wide variety of applications including bioinformatics analysis. The equipment makes it possible to sequence complete genomes, transcriptomes, metagenomes or high throughput comparative genomics, transcriptomis and gene regulation analysis within weeks at a fraction of the costs of conventional sequencing technologies.
