IN-PERSON EVENT
PacBio Data Day Bern
IN-PERSON EVENT
The Next Generation Sequencing Platform (NGSP) at the University of Bern has had another incredible year. The vast amount of high-quality data generated using the PacBio Revio and Vega systems have been a game-changer for the community, but it’s also sparked important questions about data analysis, tools, and pipelines.
To address these questions and foster collaboration, we’re excited to invite you to the Bern Data Day—an event dedicated to discussing, sharing, and learning from PacBio sequencing data.
This event is designed for bioinformaticians, researchers, and sequencing enthusiasts who work with PacBio data. Our focus will be on the technical aspects of data analysis, including:
New applications: Looking at the data generated by AmpliFi & CiFi protocols
Structure & outputs: Reviewing folder structures, pipelines, and output formats from Revio & Vega
Tools in action: A closer look at PacBio tools and support available for analysis as wells as discussions
Please note registration is required.
