Teaching Session at EFI 2023

We are happy to announce that also this year we will host a Teaching Session on the opening day of the annual EFI meeting.

This year we offer two sessions, an NGSengine masterclass aimed for more experienced users in the morning and an afternoon session on new sequencing technologies for HLA typing.


Morning session: NGSengine masterclass

26 April 2023, 09:00-12:00, La Cité Nantes Congress Centre, Room J

Join us to an NGSengine masterclass. NGSengine is our powerful analysis software for NGS-based typing. This event is targeted towards experienced NGSengine users that want to improve their data analysis skills. We will present some tips and tricks and discuss several challenging case studies.

Afternoon session: New sequencing technologies for HLA typing

26 April 2023, 13:30-16:30, La Cité Nantes Congress Centre, Room J

Interested to learn more about new sequencing technologies for HLA typing? In the afternoon, we organize the Teaching Session: new sequencing technologies for HLA typing. In this course, you will get updated about:

– The theory behind new sequencing techniques, including Oxford Nanopore, PacBio and MGI sequencing

– How to analyse HLA data from new generation sequencers in NGSengine: examples, case studies and bioinformatic advances

– Rapid HLA typing with NGS-Turbo

 

There is no fee to attend the course. Attendance to the morning session includes lunch. As limited seats are available,  we recommend that you register soon. The registration will close on April 14th.

We are looking forward to meeting you on our event!
