WGGC Webinar Serie

…here comes our next NGS Webinar! On the 25th April Thursday at 11:00 CEST Prof. Dr. Stephan Ossowski will give us a glimpse on how rare disease diagnostics in complex genomic regions work using long reads! Register here! Btw: Do you remember that long read sequencing was named the “method of the year 2023“? Our ...

Great news! Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) – German Research Foundation offers additional opportunities to apply for funding high sequencing costs projects together with academic sequencing institutions. Sequencing projects with costs in both medical and non-medical environments can be funded. We and our fellow competence centers in the NGS-CN– NGS Competence Center Tübingen (NCCT)– DRESDEN-concept Genome Center– Competence Center ...

The last Episode of the first Season is out&about!We explore three prominent SINGLE CELL sequencing techniques using frameworks of 10x Genomics | Parse Biosciences | BD. Find it on Spotify or Deezer

In this Explain Podcast special episode we explore the PhiX bacteriophage and its role in sequencing the first DNA-based genome, as well as unique molecular modifiers and something sequencing definitely always needs: quality control. Find it on Spotify or Deezer Supported by the West German Genome Center and Next Generation Sequencing Competence Network, we’re dedicated to discuss genomics & ...

The West German Genome Center (WGGC) will be funded by the Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen in 2024-2025. The WGGC was founded in 2019 as a joint competence center for state-of-the-art genome sequencing between the Universität zu Köln, the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn and the Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf while also working closely with other partners such as the Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen (DZNE) in Bonn. ...

🎧 Exciting! Episode 5 of the Explain Podcast is out, this time we prepare the ground to dive into the Illumina Sequencing. Special attention is on multicolor chemistry and signal detection – important step to understand before we get into the technology itself. Supported by the West German Genome Center and the Next Generation Sequencing ...

In this Explain Podcast episode explore with us Iontorrent sequencing – how this technique works? Is it still used and where? Which ions are we talking about and where they come from? and more… Find it on Spotify or Deezer Supported by the West German Genome Center and Next Generation Sequencing Competence Network, we’re dedicated to discuss genomics & ...

Exciting news from our WGGC experts! The small variant calling benchmarking initiative by the NGS-CN and the GHGA is out and waiting for scientific feedback.
