NGS 2016 Glasgow, the 3rd annual Next Generation Sequencing conference to take place in Scotland will be held on 27th & 28th April 2016 at the IET Teacher building in the heart of Glasgow city centre. This event is held in partnership with NHS West of Scotland Genetics Service and the University of Glasgow’s Polyomics research facility. In conjunction with the conference there will be a one day workshop on 26th April that will provide Next Generation Sequencing data analysis training to those working in the wetlab who want to be able to analyse the data and understand the data analysis workflows.
The conference will look at the latest developments in the use of Next Generation Sequencing tools and technologies to understand human disease. The scientific theme aims to bridge the gap between Clinical Genetics and University Genomic research. Aside from the routine NGS applications such as Exome, Genome and Transcriptome sequencing the audience will get to hear about developing applications where sample input is limiting such as in limiting numbers of cells all the way to single cells as well as in liquid biopsies. An interesting and emerging area that we hope to look at is the link between the gut microbiome and human disease and how NGS unraveling links to cancers and other diseases. Whilst many NGS labs are struggling to cope with data needs, we will also hear about the latest advances in bioinformatics workflows as well as hearing about ethical and legal issues related to this.
