Explain Podcast Episode 10 is out!
Season 2 of the Explain Podcast is out&about – yey! We start by discussing Bionano and Nabsys – curious tech that we’ve classified as…Genome Mapping! At the end of each episode, we now release a new subsection QuickGen, where hosts shortly discuss one term from Genetics. This time it’s about transposons or…JUMPING GENES! Let’s keep… Continue reading Explain Podcast Episode 10 is out!
NGS Webinar June I 2024
Ana Conesa is one of the leading specialists in RNA transcript isoform sequencing. She and her partners pioneered the implementation of novel longread Sequencing technologies – both PacBio and Oxford Nanopore – to explore their use in addressing pressing questions in RNA Biology. By establishing well-curated lab protocols, and developing novel bioinformatics tools, she and… Continue reading NGS Webinar June I 2024

New funding opportunities for sequencing projects!
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–… Continue reading New funding opportunities for sequencing projects!
Explain Podcast Episode 9 is out!
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
Explain Podcast Special Episode 3
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… Continue reading Explain Podcast Special Episode 3
