NGS Webinar April 2024

…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… Continue reading NGS Webinar April 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!
